Modules

Prerequisites

Contents

• Biomolecules (cell biological and chemical principles) • Lipid Biochemistry (Biomembranes and transport mechanisms) • Protein Biochemistry and Enzymatics (Structure and function of proteins) • Carbohydrate Metabolism • Tissue Metabolism and Regulation • Lipid Metabolism (Processes of lipolysis, β-oxidation, and fatty acid synthesis) • Signal Transduction Pathways and Pathobiochemistry • Bioanalytics (Occupational safety protocols & central methods utilized in laboratory)

Learning outcomes

Upon successful completion of this module, students will be able to: • Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of key biochemical concepts, including metabolism, enzymology and signal transduction, and apply this knowledge to interdisciplinary research problems. • Develop analytical skills: Independently formulate strategies to solve complex biochemical problems by integrating bioanalytical techniques with basic biochemical principles. • Apply critical thinking in analysing and discussing biochemical processes from different perspectives and the ability to think critically about scientific concepts and their applications in biotechnology. • Collaborate effectively through group discussions and communicate and collaborate in a research-orientated environment. • Apply practical knowledge and link theoretical knowledge to real-world applications of biochemistry.
