Introduction à la biologie clinique

This course tends to present the clinical biology laboratory in his different aspects. 
Here are presented particularly the laboratories of toxicology, microbiology and genetics.
A core of teacher will present the course with the objective to describe the most recent advances in the field.
For example for the microbiology part, the table of content is as follows:
Table of contents (Microbiology, MP Hayette)
1-présentation of clinical biology laboratories
2-application of mass spectrometry in microbiology
3-application of molécular biology techniques: real-time PCR, quantitative and qualitative, sequençing and NGS. 
Table des matières (Genetics, F Boemer)
1- application of mass spectrometry in genetics
2- application of mass spectrometry in proteomics
3- application of mass spectrometry in imaging
4-application of high-throughput sequencing technologies for prenatal diagnosis of aneuploidies (ie. trisomy 21, 13,...)

Médicaments d'origine biosynthétique

The lectures will browse the different claasses of macromolecules, antibodies and vaccines available (or soon) on the market. For each class, structural features will be discussed, as well as development strategies, production and PD/PK properties.

Stratégies de découverte des médicaments

Strategies and tools used in drug design; notions of "drugability" and "drug likeness", importance of physicochemical properties in the selection of drug candidates, ADME-Tox concepts, use of the computational tool, contribution of molecular biology.

Chimie structurale des médicaments

General approach of the different methods (principally spectroscopic ones) used to determine the chemical structure of organic compounds.

Méthodologie de rédaction

This course aims to provide concrete methodological support to students in the context of the realization of their personal research work associated with their internship with option of master's degree, specialized ends. The general instructions concerning the work requested will be detailed during the course. In parallel, practical advice will be provided on each stage of the work: from the definition of the research topic to the oral defense, focusing primarily on the writing of the work (document structure, writing rules, bibliographic referencing, etc.) .

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Introduction à la biologie clinique

At the end of the course,n the students will be aware of the orgnaisation mode of the laboratories of clinical biology in Belgium but also the future developments which will be introduced in the next future.

Médicaments d'origine biosynthétique

The goal of these lectures is to give a general overview of the biopharmaceutics world with their advantages, the current trends and a comparison with the "small molecules" world.

Stratégies de découverte des médicaments

The main objective of the course is to give students information on strategic approaches currently used in the pharmaceutical industry in the drug discovery process.

Technologie pharmaceutique industrielle

General learning outcomes
i. advanced learning of the aspects of formulation and industrial aspects of the production of drugs ;
ii . Knowledge of the excipients used in the manufacture of solids, liquids and pasty
specific learning outcomes
i . Getting to the industrial production environment
ii . Knowledge of industrial production stages of solid oral dosage forms.

Analyses biopharmaceutiques

The students should apprehend the differences between medicines resulting from the chemcal synthesis and biotechnology in terms of production, stability and quality control.

Méthodologie de rédaction

This course will guide the student in writing his own research work, both in terms of the general research method (the disciplinary specificities are, of course, under the responsibility of the promoters and addressed during the course) that in the form what should the manuscript take. He will be aware of the responsibilities incumbent on him when writing a scientific writing (absence of plagiarism, correct referencing, quality of scientific results, etc.).
