Course objectives
Acquisition of competences in the field of mass spectrometry analyses.
The objective of the course is to provide students with the principles for the development and application of methods based on (high resolution) mass spectrometry in the biochemical and biopharmaceutical fields.
- Oggetto:
Results of learning outcomes
Analytical methods study and development skills
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
- Understand the value of mass spectrometry techniques to address biochemical and biotechnological problems
- Know when and how applying specific mass spectrometry techniques
- Analyze the obtained results (autonomy of judgment)

Course delivery
The course is delivered face-to-face, in class lectures and lab visits. The total course time is 32 hours.
The platform course will welcome: lesson materials; exercises to be carried out face-to-face; in-depth teaching materials that can be discussed through a forum and / or in the classroom during the lesson-debate. The objective of the learning environment is to create continuity between the different teaching moments and between the different situations (remote activities and face-to-face activities).
