Learning outcomes |
The curricular unit of Biochemistry and Cancer Biomarkers has the general objective of developing and applying knowledge, attitudes and skills in the understanding of the biochemical meaning of the structure and function of proteins, as well as the molecular mechanisms responsible for the changes in proteins detected in cancer. At the end of this curricular unit the student should be able to: - Describe the classes of biomarkers and explain their importance in clinical practice; Describe protein biosynthesis, and relate structure to function; -Identify, describe and understand post-translational modifications of proteins; - Plan and execute sessions of transmission of knowledge and evaluation of students in the areas of Biomedicine, as well as produce teaching material.
