He/she studies the biochemical nature of pathological processes at an organism cellular and subcellular level.
In the study, the students learn to form a scientific problem independently, to form a scientific hypothesis, prepare and realise a scientific experiment, use a biological model of organisms and tissue cultures at the research, objectively assess obtained results and their statistical analysis.
These activities' main aim will be theoretical and practical mastering methods for processing biological material for particular analyses.
