Learning Outcomes
The aim of this course is learning and understanding
-the biochemistry of nucleic acids and particularly the biochemical mechanisms for replication, expression and regulation of genetic information.
-the biochemical and molecular basis of the immune system, sensory organs, and certain other tissues (e.g., connective tissue, blood, muscle tissue, liver, CNS, etc.) and their link to the biochemical basis of diseases of the respective tissues.

Student Assessment
Description
The evaluation of the students is performed at the end of the semester using quizzes and the tablets of Department of Medicine, and includes both multiple choice questions and open questions (requiring short answers). The grade of this examination contributes to the final grade by 80%.
Multiple choice quiz examination is also performed for the laboratory classes at the end of the semester. The grade of this examination contributes to the final grade by 20%.
Student Assessment methods
- Written Exam with Multiple Choice Questions (Summative)
- Written Exam with Short Answer Questions (Summative)
- Labortatory Assignment (Summative)
