Subject "Biology" is a part of bachelor´s study " Specialisation in Health care - Public Health" (combined study) in the 1st year. This study give the basic knowledge of molecular and cell biology, general and clinical genetics.
Aim of the course -
Last update: RNDr. Zdeňka Polívková (28.05.2008)

Students will be able to understand principles of heredity of human diseases, they will know the most frequent genetic diseases and chromosomal abnormalities. They will be able to understand bases of diseases origin, the role of environmental factors, mutagenic, carcinogenic and teratogenic effects of environmental factors, they will understand biological mechanisms of tumor origin, basis of immunity. Students will have concrete knowledge about possibilities of prevention of genetic diseases, about methods of genetic counselling, primary and secondary prevention, prenatal diagnosis and this problems explain to the patient.
