General description and relevant information |
Should there be a health emergency that requires the general public to be confined or which involves restricted mobility during the academic year, we shall attempt to adapt teaching and assessment. Should this situation arise, information about any changes will be given on the Moodle space for every subject.
The general objective is to give students an overview of the advances in the design and application of new biomolecules, which, in contrast to traditional drugs, already allow the development of very specific therapies in comparison with molecular targets. In particular, we will provide them with the tools to understand the conceptual and methodological bases of the new gene therapy strategies that allow correcting in situ genetic defects, together with a critical and exhaustive analysis of the most updated experimental tools and strategies. We will also try to promote interest in the substantive discussion on the scientific and ethical bases of the future molecular medicine and we will encourage its critical spirit to confront the latest advances. |
