      Objectives of general skills

      • Skill 1: Have acquired highly specialised and integrated knowledge and broad skills inbiological sciences, adding to those covered in the Bachelor's programme in biological sciences.
      • Skill 2: Have acquired professional skills relating to the degree.
        • Apply, mobilise, articulate and promote the knowledge and skills acquired in order to contribute to the achievement of research project in biology.
      • Skill 4: Master communication techniques.
        • Communicate, in English both orally and in writing, their findings, original proposals, knowledge and underlying principles, in a clear, structured and justified manner.
      • Skill 5: Develop and integrate a high degree of autonomy.
        • Aquire new knowledge independently.
      • Skill 6: Apply scientific methodology.
        • Critically reflect on the impact of their discipline in general, and on the contribution to projects.

      UE's Learning outcomes

      The main objective of this course is to provide to the students the major in vitro and 'omics' tools to predic potential toxic effects of chemicals.  Consequently, at the end of this course, the students will be able to :

      - identify the most appropriate <em>in vitro and</em><em> in vivo assays for risk assessment based on the target organ</em>

      - interprete data obtained by genomics, proteomics, and metabonomics approaches applied to toxicology

      - design a study protocol for preclinical toxicology evaluation

      UE Content

      After a short introduction on the basic concepts in toxicology, this part of the course will focus on <em>in vitro </em>et <em>in vivo </em>Models (mutagenicity, developmental toxicity, major target organs), as well as genomics, proteomics, and metabonomics approaches applied to toxcicology
