Program of study

Goal of this project is to form researcher able to solve main scientific problems related to basic sciences and to the different pathologies of the curricula. A fundamental tool is the partecipation of the students to the scientific activities common to the presented curricula.

Scientific activity common to all curricula. Biomelecular technologies: geneitc expression analysis, gene structure analysis, methodology for the identification of DNA binding proteins, RNA isolation technics, northen blotting, DNA sequencing techniques, DNA/RNA amplification techniques, gene cloning. Cellular technologies: cell coltures, colture systems, cell cloning.

C1: hemathopoietic cellular differentiation, molecular and cellular mechanisms for the maturation of myeloid precursor into granulocytes. In vitro and in vivo experimental neurotoxicity. Biological effects of viral proteins.

C2: Neurogenesis of dopaminergic neurons in the adult central nervous system; elementary mechanisms of transport and permeation in excitable membranes; analysis of the information processing in neuronal networks

C3: Endocrine general functions, hormonal mechanisms of action in normal and pathologic circumstances, signal transduction alterations in metabolic/neoplastic disorders of the endocrine system.

C4: Physiology of integrated motory functions.

C5: neurophysiology, neurobiology of the auditory function, particulary concerning the genetic and molecular aspects and stem cells study auditory pathways.

C6: high level knowledge of the respiratory function and particularly of the biological and structural effectsof the physical exercise (for sport or riabilitative purpose) on the respiratory apparatus.

C7: Exercise induced modifications in biology and patho-physiology of vascular diseases.

C8: Biomedical sciences applied to mechanisms of tissue injury and repair, with particular interest to those of vascular origin.
