Introduction to methods (execution, validation) of biological research, understood as a systematic, controlled, empirical and critical study of natural phenomenology, which develops starting from the formulation of a hypothesis up to the construction of the explanation. Setting of basic competences related to the elaboration of experimental results and communication in written form. Student orientation by illustrating the scientific interests of the different research groups working in our department
