Laboratory Techniques in Biochemistry

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  The Laboratory Techniques in Biochemistry will focus on the relationship between biochemical processes at the cellular level and the physiological processes that occur in the human body. In this sense, the student will have an integrated view of the various metabolic pathways and their regulation, with greater emphasis on clinical correlations, which describe biochemical states in disease states, learning that biochemical parameters must be analyzed and monitored. This unit will have an important practical component where the student will use methodologies and analyze parameters used in a clinical laboratory, in order to develop the critical spirit, and the coherent way of presenting results, which is fundamental in any professional area.

• MetodologiaMethodology

  In practical classes, the student has prior access to the experimental protocols to be carried out in each class session, which allows for prior reading and preparation. These protocols are accompanied by a set of questions, in order to ensure individual preparation and, subsequently, the discussion of procedures and results.
