    INFO ABOUT THE COURSE


    OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE

    • Knowledge and understanding: This course aims to provide an in-depth understanding ovarian chronological angiogenesis modulation during ovarian folliculogenesis: from the primordial follicles to the antral periovulatory phases. Using the animal model, the student will acquire the necessary knowledge of follicular angiogenesis that represent a model study in order to clarify the angiogenic mechanism controlling the homeostasis of adult tissues.
    • Applying knowledge and understanding: The course will cover three topics: 1) comprehension of physiological angiogenic mechanism; 2) correlation between ovarian follicle growth and angiogenesis in the follicular wall; 3) follicular angiogenesis mechanism to understand the processes ensuring the reproductive success and homeostasis of adult tissues.
    • Making judgements: Making judgement is developed through independent and group activities requiring an individual effort (self-evaluation tests) together with group (colleagues) comparison (laboratory exercises).
    • Communication: After the course students will be able to communicate clearly and concisely utilizing their conclusions, information, acquired knowledge, underpinning rationale, ideas, problems and solutions related to the topics covered by specialists and non-specialists. In particular, they will be able to present their conclusions on biotechnology issues in a logical, concise and rigorous manner and to communicate, using the appropriate technical-scientific language.
    • Learning skills: Students are expected to develop learning skills and strategies to enable them to study both continuously and independently the course content and library materials, consultation databases and other web information
