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.
• Show initiative and be able to work independently and in teams.
• 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.
• Apply scientific methodology.
• Demonstrate thoroughness, independence, creativity, intellectual honesty, and ethical values.

Learning Outcomes of UE

Learning techniques for the production of recombinant proteins in bacteria:
-preparation of media for the culture of bacteria
-transformation of bacteria with a plasmid coding for the protein of interest
-production of the protein in bacteria
-purification of the protein
-dialysis
-SDS-PAGE electrophoresis

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

During this integrated lab, the student will perform experiments in the laboratory of Cell Biology to learn the molecular biology techniques used for the production of recombinant proteins in bacteria.
