3. CONTENT DESCRIPTION

The contents of this course is designed to provide students a
advanced and practical experience of the processes and molecular mechanisms of aging and neurodegenerative diseases as well as address the cellular and pharmacological therapies for possible treatments.

4. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY

Activities will be developed in terms of hours and non-contact in both classes’
lectures, conferences (to deepen the contents indicated), preparation of seminars and activities practices. All this will be subject to a thorough and detailed discussion by teachers and students, and where capacity is measured criticism of the same. Besides the practical activities, it will be carried out the design and planning of experiments and projects as well as the interpretation of the results.
