Gerontologia II

PDMOM13_12 - ECTS

To acquire basic knowledge on the ageing process, particularly its likely causes and intervening mechanisms.

To learn key-concepts of gerontology, historical aspects of the subject, its evolution and the curent frontiers, with the help of internationally recognized scientists.

To set forth scientific problems of the field and methodological strategies to solve them.

To integrate phenotypical changes of ageing with the likely celular and genetic causes.

Cardiac Failure II

PDMOM13_10 - ECTS Main objective of the curricular unit is the obtention of knowledge of the patophysiology of heart failure, in particular of the molecular mechanisms involved and  of the therapeutic implications of the knowledge of these molecular pathways..

Oncobiology II

PDMOM13_4 - ECTS

The general aim of the Oncobiology module is integrated in the principal goal of the “Mestrado em Medicina e Oncologia Molecular da FMUP”, directed to the acquisition of the language and the basic concepts of molecular biology and molecular pathology in order to contribute to further understanding of cellular, tissue and organic functioning, with importance for the medical diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutics.

The specific aim of this Module is threefold:

 - To understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying cancer development;

- To understand the mechanisms of action of the environmental factors that cause cancer and their gene-environmental interactions;

- To understand the role of molecular biomarkers in cancer as tools for prognostic evaluation and targeted therapy.

Endocrine Pathology II
