Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Scientific skills
• Implement and independently carry out an experimental approach, validate a model by comparing its predications with experimental results, assess the limitations of the model's validity, and identify sources or error.
• In response to situations and aware of the methodological limitations: - Use common techniques of biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, studies of tissues and organs (i.e. link a macroscopic phenomenon to microscopic processes). - Use an experimental device in a biological model, know and use the concepts and techniques of animal physiology.

Learning Outcomes of UE

The radiobiology course provides a fundamental introduction to the biological effects of ionizing radiation on living systems. Aimed at biomedical science students, this course explores the molecular and cellular mechanisms triggered by radiation exposure, with a focus on concepts such as dose, radiosensitivity, DNA repair, and tissue responses. It also offers the foundational knowledge needed to understand the use of radiation in medical imaging, radiotherapy, and radiation protection, while addressing related ethical and health considerations.
