Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Explain the molecular pathogenesis of common diseases
- Describe how disease processes can originate
Skills
- Obtain a deeper knowledge into the molecular pathogenesis of
common diseases arising in man through relevant scientific
literature, compared to that previously obtained through classical
textbook material
- Find new hypothesis’ of molecular pathogenesis in common
diseases
- Work with scientific literature in-depth and get an insight
into what qualifies as high-quality research
- Apply knowledge of molecular methods, and how these are used in
scientific research to obtain new knowledge and hypothesis’ of
disease pathogenesis
Competences
- Synthesise a deeper knowledge about how common diseases arise
and be able to suggest likely targets for therapy based on current
research hypothesis within disease pathogenesis
- Be able to reflect critically on research literature
- Be able to facilitate a scientific discussion based on
presentations and scientific literature
- Be able to find relevant scientific literature and present
current and new hypothesis of molecular pathogenesis leading to
disease progression
Type of instruction
- Teaching varies between lectures, workshops, (group) exercises
and individual study
