ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	6.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.
Language:	Polish
Main fields of studies for MISMaP:	biology biotechnology chemistry computer science environmental protection physics
Full description:	Course content: Rational foundations of molecular medicine: genetic predisposition and the influence of environmental factors on the initiation and course of diseases, differences between people to contracting diseases in an established environment, and differences in the effectiveness of treatment with the use of the same drugs resulting from genetic differences - "Single Nucleotide Polymorphism" (SNP). The remainder of the basics of the biology of cell division and the basics of apoptosis and necrosis of cells. A reminder of the mechanisms of selected signaling and metabolic pathways, in particular related to the functioning of cell receptors as well as protein kinases and phosphatases. Fundamentals of the biology of the immune system. A selected overview of well-documented family diseases. A selected overview of well-documented environmental diseases: toxins including cigarette smoke, drugs, herbicides, heavy metals, others. Cellular and molecular bases of selected diseases and selected, popular antibiotics and inhibitors/activators of signaling pathways as well as RNA antisense: simple genetic diseases, incl. associated with damage to single genes, as well as mitochondrial, cancer, allergic, immunological, viral diseases, incl. influenza, including its various varieties, and Aids, bacterial, fungal, parasitic, incl. malaria., diseases associated with the defective synthesis of prion proteins, and others. Practical possibilities of modern medicine for individualized treatment and minimization of side effects. New technologies for functional genomics, incl. basics of pharmacogenomics.
