Osnova
  • 1. Introduction – history, concept and definition of molecular medicine, content of the course – introduction to the methods and principles of molecular medicine based on the diagnostics and therapy of cancer, translational research, essentials of molecular biology and genetics
  • 2. Molecular pathology of cancer – cell cycle, apoptosis, genetic instability of tumors, risk factors, angiogenesis, metastasis development, microRNAs, tumor as a complex tissue, histopathological classification of tumors, mechanism of action of selected drugs – as example therapy of colorectal cancer, breast cancer and glioblastoma
  • 3. Modern methodical approaches in molecular medicine I – preparation of biological material (tissue, blood, stool, FFPE) and extraction of nucleic acids (importance of quality control), genomics (Real-Time qPCR, DNA microarrays, Next Generation Sequencing, long-read sequencing – comparison of technological principles and review of the most widely used microarrays and sequencing platforms.
  • 4. Modern methodical approaches in molecular medicine II – introduction to proteomics (2D electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, protein arrays), usage of proteomic methods in the diagnostic oncology
  • 5. Molecular epidemiology – concept and definition of molecular epidemiology, identification of molecular risk factors, analysis of interactions between molecular and environmental factors, significance of molecular epidemiology in lung cancer and colorectal cancer prevention
  • 6. Molecular pharmacology I – targeted therapy – development of new drugs = identification of new molecular targets, high-throughput screening, tissue cultures, transgenic animal models, risk/benefit ratio, economical and ethical aspects in the development of new drugs
  • 7. Molecular pharmacology II – principles of biological therapy – monoclonal antibodies – preparation of monoclonal antibodies and recombinant proteins, small inhibitors – rational drug design, siRNA, microRNA – augmentation of gene expression on the post-transcriptional level, drug transport (liposomes, immunoglobulins, nano-technologies and supramolecular systems)
  • 8. Molecular pharmacology III – precision medicine – pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics
  • 9. Precision oncology – concept and definition of precision oncology, individualized medicine for oncological patients based on the biological characteristics of their tumors, prognosis, prediction, survival terms, therapy response, early detection of progression
  • 10. Cancer immunotherapy – essentials and basic principles, immune checkpoint inhibitors, cancer antigens peptides, dendritic cells vaccine, tumor infiltrating lymphocytes
  • 11. Stem cell therapeutics, gene therapy of inherited diseases, prenatal diagnostics
  • 12. Molecular medicine in the light of law, ethics and society
