Referring to the Prerequisite and Incompatibility Table of the Medicine Degree Study Plan: "It is necessary to have passed the subjects of Biochemistry I and Biology in order to pass this subject."
The subject "Biochemistry II and Immunology" belongs to Module I (Morphology, Structure and Function of the Human Body) and to Subject 1.1 (Development, Structure and Function of the Healthy Human Body at the Molecular and Cellular Level) of the Medicine Teaching Plan. It is a mandatory annual subject, with 9 ECTS, and it is taught during the second year.
Biochemistry and Immunology are two of the most dynamic disciplines of Biology and are indispensable for understanding other disciplines of the Medicine Degree, such as Physiology, Human Genetics, Pharmacology, Nutrition, etc. In addition to explaining the chemical functioning of living matter under healthy conditions, Biochemistry and Immunology have greatly contributed to the development of modern scientific medicine, by identifying the molecular bases of many pathological processes and the mechanism of action of drugs. For all these reasons, the subject Biochemistry II and Immunology represents an essential element of the basic training of the future doctor.
The content and resources of each module will be provided through the Moodle platform.
