Our central concern are the students. They are king. Our full attention is given to their character-building and professional training. Everything else is secondary. During the chaperonage of the students phase of living and lerning we do our very best to fill the universities three mission statements with life. That is our contribution making our university unique, now and in the future.
Department of Medicine
During a period of two years, medical students are weekly teached in basic
biochemistry and pathological biochemistry as well.
Demonstrations in biochemical methodology are given
exemplarly by performing an HIV-ELISA and a genetic fingerprint. Here
are the topics discussed each week:
Basic chemistry
- Atoms
- Bindings
- pH, bases and acids, buffers
- redox reactions
Basic biochemistry
- Introduction to biochemistry
- Amino acids and proteins
- Fatty acids, lipids and cell membranes
- Carbohydrates
- Nucleic acids
- Chemical reaction equilibria
- Enzymes: function
- Enzymes: regulation
- Collagen, creatin, elastin, actin, tubulin, intermediary filaments
- Hemoglobin and red cells
- Muscle contraction
- DNA-replication
- Proteinbiosynthesis
- RNA-Interference
- Genetic fingerprint
- Immunology: antibodies and complement system
- HIV, ELISA
- Glucose metabolism
- Glykogen metabolism
- Pentosephosphate shunt, pyruvic acid dehydrogenase
- Lipid metabolism
- Citric acid cycle
- Oxidative phosphorylation
- Urea cycle
- Clotting
- Blood transfusion
Pathological biochemistry
- Adreno-genital syndrome
- Acute lymphoblastic leukemia
- Alkohol abuse
- Arteriosclerosis
- Carnitine palmityl transferase deficiency
