Innovative Molecular Approaches for the Identification of Pharmacological Targets

The aim of the course is to provide students with the scientific knowledge that will contribute to the
formation of a basic culture of omics technologies and to the learning of the language to be used.
The aim of the course is to allow students to understand the fundamental logic in the use of omic
methodologies, to know the theoretical and practical bases and the principles on which the different
omic techniques are based, the main protocols of use both in the preparation of the sample and of
the instrumentation and their control, and finally to provide the basis for the management and analysis of the results also illustrating the possibility of integration of the data obtained with different omic methodologies.
The educational objective of the course is to develop knowledge that allows the student to address different scientific issues and to choose and apply the best omics approaches in order to understand the biochemical functions in the main tissues or cellular models in relation to the most common diseases.

The students' learning outcomes will be evaluated by the teacher through an oral examination of the learning of the omic methodologies and their use on the basis of the program carried out during the course.
The examination of the students by the teacher will be mainly aimed at assessing the knowledge and understanding of the omic techniques and the assessment of the skills acquired by the student at the completion of the teaching itself. In particular, the ownership of the language used
by the student will be evaluated, as well as the skills acquired to discriminate the choice of different omic methodologies and their possible integration to be applied to different scientific issues.
