Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • 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.

Learning Outcomes of UE

The aim of this course is to show the diversity of neuronal ion channels, their function and their possible implication in human pathologies. These channels are indeed potential targets for pharmaceutical research. Students should be able to explain the structure and the properties of the major classes of ionic channels. They must be able to explain the relationship between the structure and the function of the channels. They also have to know the different techniques used to study the ionic channels and their basic properties.
