The biophysical chemistry course is designed to provide basic knowledge of the experimental approaches of physical chemistry to the biological sciences. The program seeks to provide students with an understanding of thermodynamics, kinetics, electrochemistry and a primer of quantum chemistry to understand spectroscopy.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

KNOWLEDGE AND CAPACITY OF COMPREHENSION: Basics of physical chemistry (thermodynamic, kinetic and quanto-mechanical treatment) applied to the study of biological systems.

CAPACITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND COMPREHENSION: Starting from the examples discussed during the course, students should be able to apply different theoretical-experimental approaches to solving problems in the biotechnology field.

AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT: Students should be able to understand and analyze experimental and computational data and discuss them logically.

LEARNING CAPACITY: Students should be able to describe scientific issues applied to bio-molecular systems by critically using the methodologies and techniques discussed in the course.

COMMUNICATIVE SKILLS: Students should be able to discuss scientific issues in the field of Biophysical chemistry.
