Learning Objectives
The goal is to provide useful information, based on the lecturer's direct experience, that can guide students to the right future experimental choices. The course includes an analysis of “mistakes” that a young researcher can potentially make both in planning an experiment (or project) and in analysing the results obtained.
Program
Cancer is characterized by both genetic and epigenetic abnormalities that play a role in the complex phenomenon of neoplastic transformation. Epigenetic information is by nature reversible, and its perturbation in a disease state can, on a theoretical basis, be brought back to normal. Understanding the epigenetic mechanisms that contribute to the genesis of the disease state is now crucial not only to devise new therapeutic approaches but also to identify new biomarkers potentially useful for refining more effective and specific diagnostic approaches.

Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
Knowledge and understanding - Acquisition of the tools to understand the molecular mechanisms of disease. Ability to use the language of their specific discipline.
Applying knowledge and understanding - Ability to recognize and apply the cognitive tools and the rigorous approach of the Molecular Pathology as rational of any activity related directly and indirectly to health protection.
Indipendence of judgment - Being able to learn and independently evaluate the results of investigations on the pathogenesis and diagnosis of diseases
Communicative skills ?- Ability to explain, in a simple, immediate and exhaustive manner the acquired knowledge and to know how to interface with future professional roles (researchers, students, health-operative).
Learning ability - Upgrade capabilities through consultation of the scientific literatue of the discipline. Ability to participate, using the knowledge gained in the course, the continuous updating initiatives in the professional field.
