Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Scientific skills
• 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.
• Use acquisition and data analysis software specific to biomedical sciences
• Be familiar with biomedical science research tools, including bioinformatics tools.
• Professional integration skills
• Network, and use digital communication and collaboration tools
• Be aware of ethical issues and apply ethical codes specific to life sciences in their behaviour
• 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.
• Master written and oral scientific expression. Be independent in writing and show that they can communicate their thoughts, reason and organise their knowledge
• Master scientific English: - Present scientific results, orally and in writing. - Answer scientific questions in English

Learning Outcomes of UE

Laboratory methods and technologies for studying cancer. The course will be teached in english.

Content of UE

This course will present a broad overview of current laboratory methods and technologies as well as strategies for studying cancer at both fundamental and translational level. Different principles will be studied: transfection for gene overexpression or deletion (CRISPR-Cas9); cell proliferation, survival, clonogenic analysis, cell cycle, senescence, apoptosis; cell motility, migration, invasion; study of cell signaling pathways (Phospho arrays, RPPA, PamGene); seahorse-type metabolism and by NMR; Next Generation Sequencing (NGS); Digital PCR; analyze statistics; analyze database. In addition, the link between laboratory research and clinical trials will be assessed.
