Course objectives
Pathobiochemistry follows the course of Biochemistry taught in the winter semester. Biochemistry deals with the metabolic processes in living organisms.
The aim of the Pathobiochemistry course is to obtain knowledge of the possible disorders of metabolic processes, their causes, symptoms, possible reparations and therapy.
The aim of the practical exercises are analyzes of some selected diagnostically important compounds, the correct interpretation of the results of analyzes and their use for the purpose of human diagnostic and therapeutic practice.
Learning outcomes
The aim of the Pathobiochemistry course is to obtain knowledge of the possible disorders of metabolic processes, their causes, symptoms, possible reparations and therapy. Advance knowledge of biochemistry forming the basis for follow-up subjects Methods of molecular biology, Biotechnology of drugs, Exercises from drug biotechnology and Pharmacogenomics.

Assessment methods
The written part (online), which consists of a test with 40 questions, 150 points. To successfully complete the course, it is necessary to pass the test at 60%. Prerequisite for passing the exam is obtaining credit, to obtain credit from the subject "PATHBIOCHEMISTRY" it is necessary to complete all practical exercises, passing a credit test at 80%, adequate knowledge of biochemical issues and the correct elaboration of all protocols for exercises. At the same time, a short task readiness test will be performed before each exercise. Furthermore, the group task of elaborating 2 chapters of seminars. The written exam is prepared on the basis of lectures and questions from the Seminars - see recommended literature. He will then reimburse the teaching at the time and in the manner determined by the respective teacher. If the credit is not awarded, the student will perform the credit procedure in the term determined by the relevant teacher of practical training. If the prescribed completion of the course is only a credit, the number of terms for obtaining it is identical, as if the course was completed by an exam.
