Genetics and Molecular Biology in APP

In this course on molecular biology and an introduction to genetic analysis, the objectives are to become familiar with the terminology, principles, concepts, and methods used in formal genetics, as well as their applications, particularly in human and medical genetics.

The curriculum for this course unit will be organized as follows:

• 6 tutoring sessions, 3 hours each: Introduction + 5 practice problems + 1 test problem
• 6 3-hour practical sessions
• 3 Scientific Conferences
