Prerequisites
aVLBI0121c Biology I - pract.
Knowledge of high-school biology and all previous lectures and practical classes of the subject are prerequisites for studying the course. Expected knowledge for each lecture is specified in the course syllabus. The literature recommended to study for each lecture is detailed in the interactive syllabus of the course.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.

Course objectives
The main objectives of the course are:
- understanding of the basic principles of human genetics
- understanding of the mechanisms of cancer development
- acquaintance with the basics of genomics, immunogenetics, epigenetics, gene therapy, tissue engineering and evolutionary biology
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will be able to:
- explain and apply basic principles of human genetics
- explain the role of medical biology in the development of modern therapies (e.g. molecular therapies of cancer)
- explain the basic principles of current methods used in gene therapy and cell therapies
- understand the significance of the human microbiome in human health and disease
- be knowledgeable in basic modern approaches to studying various diseases and to personalised medicine (genomics)
