Learning Outcomes of UE
Provide an overview of the state of knowledge of developmental mechanisms (basic concepts and their origin), current approaches and techniques for the study of development, and underline the contribution and importance of developmental biology in medicine modern.
UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance
The course of "Developmental Biology consists of four parts. The first part is devoted to the basics of developmental biology, their discovery through the approaches of descriptive embryology, experimental embryology and genetics. The second part describes the techniques used to study gene expression and function. The third part deals with the establishment of the organizational plan of the Drosophila and Xenopus embryos. The fourth part is devoted to human genetics, congenital anomalies and their causes.
