After the course, the students should be able to understand the definition and the relevance of biomarkers
George F :
Biomarkers: After the course, the students should be able to understand the definition and the relevance of biomarkers
Biobank: The program of this course provides key elements for reflection and support for the development of research projects. At the end of this course the students will know legislation and ethics rules to be taken into account to develop a research project as well as requirements in terms of quality ‘samples used
Personalized Medicine: At the end of this course, students will be able to understand the advantages and issues of setting up a personalized medicine
