Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• In the field of biological sciences and particularly in the field of the biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, possess highly specialised and integrated knowledge and a wide range of skills adding to those covered in the Bachelor's programme in biological sciences.
• Conduct extensive research and development projects related to biological sciences, in biochemistry and in molecular and cell biology.
• Apply, mobilise, articulate and promote the knowledge and skills acquired in order to help lead and complete a project.
• Manage and lead research, development and innovation projects.
• Methodically research valid scientific information, critically analyse, propose and argue potentially innovative solutions to targeted problems.
• Master communication techniques.
• Communicate, both orally and in writing, their findings, original proposals, knowledge and underlying principles, in a clear, structured and justified manner.
• Develop and integrate a high degree of autonomy.
• Aquire new knowledge independently.
• Apply scientific methodology.
• Critically reflect on the impact of their discipline in general, and on the contribution to projects.

Learning Outcomes of UE

General knowledge of techniques and problems addressed by researchers in the field of fundamental immunology.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

The course discusses and describes a series of experimental protocols which have made it possible to develop the concepts underlying modern immunology. In the form of presentations of scientific articles, the teacher introduces the student to the experiments which, historically, have advanced our knowledge of adaptive immunity and for which their authors have often earned a scientific recognition of the first importance (Nobel Prize ).
