Experimental Approaches in Infection Biology

This course unit aims to reinforce and illustrate the knowledge acquired in the course unit “Molecular Bases of Infectious Diseases” through the analysis of scientific publications on topics in infectious diseases. Publications employing a variety of molecular and cellular approaches in bacteriology, parasitology, and virology—ranging from the most traditional to the most recent—are analyzed with the students.

Acquire the concepts and methodology necessary to understand and critically evaluate scientific publications that use molecular and cellular approaches to study pathogenic processes caused by infectious agents (bacteria, viruses, and unicellular parasites).
