| Abstract | EU FOOD LAW MODULE: Legal issues concerning food quality and food safety are rapidly developing. Food standards are being developed and applied at the national level, at the European level and at global level (WTO, FAO, WHO, Codex Alimentarius), but also by private parties. Many of these standards are of a technical nature and focus on food safety, food quality, consumer protection and consumer information. This course introduces the different players who are active in the field of food law. The main part of the course is devoted to the system and the content of food law in the European Union. Topics discussed are amongst others: - the functioning of the European Union and other international organisations; - the development of food law from the general principle of free movement of goods; - the 21st Century architecture of the body of food law by means of the so-called General Food Law; - food labelling; - food safety and hygiene; - novel foods including genetically modified foods; - intellectual property rights; - enforcement of food law; - product liability. | ||||||||||||

| Abstract | The course is divided in two parts. One will be provided in the class. The second part will be held in laboratory. The course of Prof.Dianzani will focus on pathophysiology, i.e. the functional changes that are caused by disease. In particular, information will be given on the causes and mechanisms of disease connected to nutrition. |
| Reference texts | Rubin and Farber Pathology J.B.Lippincot Company |
| Teaching targets | The student should obtain information on the fundamental mechanisms and causes of the disease, in particular those due to gene-environment interaction, with a focus on nutrition. |
| Prerequisites | Basic knowledge of general pathology, biochemistry and molecular biology |
| Didattics Methods | The course includes a part that will be held in class and a part of laboratory experience. The part in class will be based on frontal teaching. |
| Grading rules | Written examination: 20 multiple choice questions, 10 of which will deal on the frontal class and 10 on the laboratory class. |
| Full arguments | 1) Pathophysiology of lipid metabolism 2) Pathophysiology of amino acid metabolism 3) The causes and biology of cancer The laboratory part will be focused on the techniques commonly used to study causes and mechanisms of disease. Practice and theory of: - techniques and experimental strategies - set up of an experiment - interpretation of the results |
| Expected learning objectives | The student should obtain information on the fundamental mechanisms and causes of disease, in particular those due to environmental interactions, with a focus on nutrition. |

| Abstract | The course will focus on applied aspects of the interactions between plants and beneficial soil microorganisms. |
| Reference texts | A single reference textbook is not available. The teacher will recommend and provide articles and reviews from scientific journals, in addition to extracts from the following scientific books: Smith S and Read DJ, 2008. Mycorrhizal symbiosis, Academic Press Martin F (ed.), 2016, Molecular mycorrhizal symbiosis, Wiley Blackwell |
| Teaching targets | Driving the students to become aware that some ecological mechanisms represent an agronomic and environmental resource. |
| Prerequisites | Good knowledge of cell biology, plant (embriophyta) biology and mycology is required. |
| Didattics Methods | Lesson in classroom. |
| Grading rules | The final exam will be oral. The interview will start with questions on general topics, concerning the subjected presented during the course, allowing the students to develop a theme and show the level of their in depth study. Detailed questions will follow, in order to: 1) explore untouched topics; 2) clarify doubts; 3) show the ability to establish connections. The final marks will be the average of the marks of each question. |
| Full arguments | The course will concern the following subjects: 1. Main plant microbe interactions: pathogens and mutualists (Mycorrhizae, Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria, Trichoderma). 2. Role of beneficial microorganisms in: sustainable agriculture; pest biocontrol; tolerance to salinity and drought; revegetation; phytoremediation; improving product quality. |
| Expected learning objectives | KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY TO COMPREHEND – learning: (i) the main types of plant-microbe beneficial interactions, (ii) the possible exploitation in agriculture and environmental sciences; - understanding the mechanisms that control the main interactions between plants and microorganisms. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND COMPREHENSION – Ability to integrate the knowledge and abilities acquired during the class with those derived from other courses. – Ability to comprehend the functioning and aims of some plant-based applications of environmental biotechnology. COMMUNICATION ABILITIES – Using an appropriate scientific language during oral and written communication. – Ability to identify and present essential information. AUTONOMY OF JUDGEMENT – Ability to interpretate experimental results concerning the biology of applied plant-microbe interactions. ABILITY TO LEARN – Ability to describe scientific themes concerning the plant-microbe interactions and to learn how they could be exploited. Such ability will be developed by involving the students in discussion during the lessons. |
