22831-01 - Lecture: Molecular Medicine I 2 CP

Semester fall semester 2010
Course frequency Every fall sem.
Lecturers Barbara C. Biedermann (barbara.biedermann@unibas.ch)

Content The purpose of this lecture series is to introduce biologists to the mechanisms that
cause human diseases. Emphasis will be on the genetic and environmental factors
that lead to diseases, and how this knowledge can be used to develop diagnostic and
therapeutic procedures. The series will start with a lecture on the human genome
and its impact on molecular medicine, followed by lectures on infectious diseases
(e.g. AIDS, Malaria), and disorders of the immune system (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis).
Other lectures will concentrate on organ systems such as blood, cardiovascular
system, gastro‐intestinal and respiratory system and more general topics such as
cancer, psychiatric disease and aging.
