Annotation -
The main aim of education in Biology of Man is to obtain the basic information from biology of man and clinical genetics; it means to be able to understand ontogenesis, inheritance laws, molecular and/or genetic nature of processes in organism, individuality of every person (on molecular level, physical and mental level as well as individuality of interaction with environment ...) and consider possibilities in the development of new drugs.

Aim of the course -

Students will be able to:

  • choose appropriate methods of cytogenetics and molecular genetics for analysing the effect of chemical compounds on cells/organism
  • evaluate reasons for testing mutagenic and/or teratogenic effects of novel drugs
  • take into account genetic variability of human population (e.g. SNP - single nucleotide polymorphisms) and importance of interaction of signalling network molecules with drugs
