Course objectives
The aim of the course is to deepen the knowledge on the molecular mechanisms relevant to post-transcriptional gene expression, which are of particular relevance and interest in the field of cellular biology. The aims are to provide new knowledge based on high impact research published in recent years in international journals. Teaching also aims to stimulate students' interest in recent and leading edge research in the field of cellular biology through critical reading and collective discussion of highly relevant scientific articles.

Results of learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student:
- will know in detail and in depth the molecular mechanisms underlying the cellular processes studied
- will acquire the ability to read and criticize other relevant scientific articles where new discoveries are presented and discussed
- will have the ability to critically evaluate the scientific research presented during lessons
-can acquire the ability to read articles in English and structure scientific presentations by identifying key concepts and major issues

Program
The program is based on the deepening of key scientific issues coming out in recent publications.
The topics covered will address the molecular mechanisms underlying post-transcriptional regulation at the RNA and protein level. The program will cover alternative splicing and polyadenylation, mRNA modification and homeostasis, protein folding and degradation, and regulation of stress responses.
These aspects will be examined in different areas of biomedicine, including cancer, neural, cardiovascular, and immune biology.
