Programme

PROGRAM- Rossi- The revolution in molecular biology of the last 70 years through the discoveries of Nobel laureates:
• Experiments and theory related to the discovery of the structure of DNA, methods of analysis and visualization of genetic material, starting from the discovery of the DNA double helix-(Nobel Watson, Crick, Wilkins)
• Deciphering the genetic code, experiments that led to the discovery of gene regulation, structure of eukaryotic and prokaryotic genes and promoters (Nobel Jacob, Monod, Lwoff)
• Cellular communication, the example of neurotrophins and the discovery of NGF (Nobel Levi Montalcini, Cohen)
• Structural components of DNA and mobile genomic elements (Nobel McClintock)
• Model organisms, characteristics and examples, C.elegans. The discovery of programmed cell death (Nobel Brenner, Sulston, Horvitz).
• L’RNA interference (Nobel Fire, Mello)
• The revolution of DNA editing, (Nobel Doudna)
• A brief history of vaccines and RNA vaccines (Nobel Prize Karikó Weissman)
Program – Prof Berardinelli
• Before the gene, first theories about generation in the pre-scientific era
• Darwin and the Problem of Heredity
• Mendel: inheritance as a measurable phenomenon
• The rediscovery of Mendel and the birth of genetics
• Chromosomes, mitosis and meiosis. Sutton and Boveri the chromosomal theory of heredity
• Morgan and the studies in Drosophila: genes on chromosomes
• Mutations, Eugenics and the Dark Side of Heredity
• From gene to protein: what does a gene do?
Program- Prof Colasanti-The topics covered will be chosen by the teacher among the following:
• Reactivity : The nervous system, neurons and the conduction of electrical impulses.
• Pulse: The cardiovascular system and the respiratory system.
• Fuel: The digestive system, metabolism and energy production.
• Defend: The immune system, microbiology and infections.
• Movement : The musculoskeletal system and sensory receptors.
• Birth: The reproductive system, developmental biology and epigenetics.
