Objetivos
This unit present a strong practical-laboratory component, promoting students to achieve skills for laboratory work autonomy, as well as to plan the experimental work according to the theoretic basis of the studies. The collaboration with the Faculty ofMedical Sciences of the New University of Lisbon, in particular with the CEDOC laboratories, is an added value to this unit.
Resultados de aprendizagem e competências
This unit has as its primary goals:1. To develop an integrated perspective of the techniques used in molecular genetics for diagnostics or research, bas in four processes: amplification, separation, detection, and expression; 2. To understand the theoretical basis of the techniques of molecular genetics;3. To learn common techniques of molecular genetics.

Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem
The teaching methodologies are based on expository and participatory methods using virtual collaborative platforms, to promote discussion and analysis of procedures and results. In the theoretical component, contents will be presented using digitalplatforms and assuming slides projection, films and animations visualizations. The practical component ensure laboratory classes with students following protocols for different works. The e- distance teaching, includes synchronous and asynchronousactivities.

Obtenção de frequência
Writen report of laboratory work (in group) and a written test. The student will be able to do final assessment, by an exam
Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final
Assessment methodology: continuous, consisting of report (60%) about laboratory works, performed as group work (3-4 students) and an individual written test (40%).The student will be able to do final assessment, by an exam consisting of a written test with contents of the theoretical and laboratory components, accounting for100% of the UC evaluation.
