Course content
The aim of the subject Experimental Medicine is to introduce the student with new important knowledge in the area of molecular medicine, particularly focusing following topics: viruses (DNA, RNA, retroviruses), bacteriophages - structure and replication cycle, the most important enzyme targets, viral and bacterial infections, relationship of viral infections and cancer. Stem cells and their significance in biomedicine. Molecular and genetic origin of mutations. Cellular and molecular processes in transformed cells (mutated, virus or bacteria infected). Molecular alterations in tumor cells. Drug susceptibility/resistance in tumor cells. Molecular basis of immunity (lymphocytes, immunoglobulines, MHC, HLA systems). Applications of molecular biology in diagnostics. Significance and limitations of selected laboratory techniques used in routine diagnostic practice.
