Objectives of general skills

• Scientific skills
• Implement and independently carry out an experimental approach, validate a model by comparing its predications with experimental results, assess the limitations of the model's validity, and identify sources or error.
• In response to situations and aware of the methodological limitations: - Use common techniques of biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, studies of tissues and organs (i.e. link a macroscopic phenomenon to microscopic processes). - Use an experimental device in a biological model, know and use the concepts and techniques of animal physiology.
• Appropriately select measuring instruments, analyse and process the signal obtained
• Be a responsible researcher: - Know how to base their reasoning on data obtained from scientific literature. - Know how to integrate an ethical dimension in their reasoning. - Be loyal (to the facts, to the team, and to intellectual property). - Do not tamper with results. - Do not exploit the work of others. - Demonstrate experimental rigor.
• Professional integration skills
• Invest their knowledge and skills in professional scenarios
• Be introduced to the process of production, distribution and exploitation of knowledge
• Demonstrate their ability to research, analyse and synthesise: - Research, analyse, use different sources of information and materials related to biomedical sciences, format them to draw up a summarised document, produced and broadcast them on digital media. - Carry out a study, identify and raise an issue in a predefined context, build and develop an argument, interpret the data and results, develop an overview, and propose extensions. - Question themselves, think critically, debate, and defend their ideas.
• Make a presentation illustrating arguments adapted to the object, the circumstances and the public: speak in public

UE's Learning outcomes

The main objective of the molecular imaging course is to present several imaging techniques with both theoretical and experimental approaches, including some examples of applications.

UE Content

Introduction: Background of imaging techniques, X-ray scanner, nuclear imaging with radioisotopes (PET and SPECT techniques), ultrasound imaging, MALDI imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), optical imaging (techniques of FRAP, FRET, FLIM, FLIP and FCS)
Conclusions: description of the advantages/disadvantages and complementary aspects of the techniques, presentation of molecular imaging applications
