Advanced Molecular Systems BioMedicine And Complex Pathological Phenotypes

The seventh course of the International School of Advanced Molecular, Genome and Complex Systems BioMedicine

Director of the School: Michele Purrello, Full Professor of Biology and Genetics

Directors of 2014 Course: F Basile, C Di Pietro, F Purrello, M Purrello, M Ragusa

Characterisation of the molecular bases of wild-type and pathological phenotypes is one of the most important topics in contemporary Molecular BioMedicine. It will allow to understand complex biological processes, including the molecular determinants of cells and organisms identity. The seventh course of the School of Advanced Molecular, Genome and Complex Systems BioMedicine will again focus on neoplastic and degenerative diseases: these pathological phenotypes will be exploited as experimental models to demonstrate how much Genome Projects have impacted on contemporary scientific research in BioMedicine and BioTechnology and have profoundly modified our vision of Nature.

Venue of the School: on june 18th and june 19th the lectures will be held at the Aula Magna of the Scuola Superiore di Catania, Catania. On june 20th lectures will be held at the Aula Pero of Policlinico, Catania.

Participating Audience: Up to 100 Students from the PhD, Specialty, Advanced and First level Courses from the University of Catania will be admitted to the 2014 School, which will assign 2
CFU to Participants . The electronic application form for registration to the School is available at www.bgbunict.it/Html/Application.htm
