Class Interdisciplinary project II

It is intended that students have contact with areas of scientific research inherent to biotechnology.

The syllabus is in accordance with the fields of specialization of the professors who will teach the course. Based on the knowledge acquired during the 1st and 2nd years of the degree, it will be possible to apply it in the realization of a theoretical-practical project. In the different areas of biotechnology, the following contents will be focused:
chemistry: natural products for therapeutic, environmental and food applications
genetics: therapeutics for cardiovascular diseases. diagnostic methods
bacteriology: therapies against antibiotic resistant bacteria. diagnostic methods
nutraceutical: cosmetic products with antioxidant and antimicrobial characteristics
food: products with antioxidant characteristics
applied biocatalysis: enzymatic formulations and biocatalytic systems to obtain molecules with applications in the food and pharmaceutical areas
environment: bioremediation and/or biomonitoring of soil and water components

The syllabus will be taught by FE faculty and/or specialists in different areas of Biotechnology. At the beginning of the semester, a joint class will be given with all the professors, in which the themes that will be covered during the semester and who are responsible will be presented. During the semester, all students will attend theoretical/theoretical-practical classes that will be given in the form of modules corresponding to the different areas. Simultaneously, each student will develop the topic of interest with the teacher allocated to the respective area.

A bibliografia é variada, tendo por base artigos científicos sendo disponibilizada por cada um dos docentes de acordo com as áreas e os temas lecionados
