| | | Learning outcomes |
- EC
| 1. A graduate of the Master of Biomedical Sciences has a thorough knowledge of the molecular and cellular processes of the healthy and diseased organism and has insight in different methods for prevention, diagnosis and therapy of diseases. | - EC
| 2. A graduate of the Master of Biomedical Sciences can independently and critically perform a literature search. | - EC
| 3. A graduate of the Master of Biomedical Sciences can draw up a new research hypothesis based on his or her own findings or based on the findings of others, and work out a research proposal for this. | - EC
| 4. A graduate of the Master of Biomedical Sciences has knowledge of state-of-the-art techniques within biomedical research and is able to apply these techniques, taking into account the applicable quality standards. | - EC
| 5. A graduate of the Master of Biomedical Sciences can independently process and statistically analyze research results, and formulate conclusions. | - EC
| 6. A graduate of the Master of Biomedical Sciences can report scientific findings in writing and orally to both experts and a wide audience in a structured way. | - EC
| 7. A graduate of the Master of Biomedical Sciences takes a critical attitude towards one's own research and that of others. | - EC
| 9. A graduate of the Master of Biomedical Sciences can set up, conduct and report biomedical research in an ethical manner and with integrity, taking into account current regulations. | - EC
| 10. A graduate of the Master of Biomedical Sciences knows the potential for valorization of biomedical research and can translate own research into translational research. | - EC
| 11. A graduate of the Master of Biomedical Sciences can function in a multidisciplnary team and can fulfill a bridging function between the various actors in health care. The graduate knows the importance and needs of the various stakeholders within the life sciences. | - EC
| 12. A graduate of the Master of Biomedical Sciences has an attitude for lifelong learning and for constantly adjusting one's own professional thinking and acting. | - EC
| MHD 1. A graduate of the Master of Biomedical Sciences specialisation Molecular Mechanisms in Health and Disease has in depth insights in the etiology and the underlying molecular pathways of major disease areas (e.g. cardiovascular sciences, immunology and infection, neurosciences,...) |

General aims
In this teaching block, the student will learn how experiments are designed, how results are analysed and communicated, and how follow up research is designed.
Concrete aims
After completion of this teaching block, the student has insight into:
- Hypothesis and problem statement
- Study design
- The design and interpretation of figures
- Poster design and presentation
- Applied statistics
- Communication of research findings
- Scientific fraud and integrity
- Validation and verification of scientific findings
- Scientific English
In the MHD master the students gain insight in the molecular disease mechanisms underlying diseases such as COPD, atherosclerosis and cancer and the impact of nutrition and aging hereon. Also, the students learn how research is designed in these disease domains.

| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions | -Presence at the journal clubs and tutor sessions is obligatory.
-The evaluation consists of multiple parts. For all parts of the evaluation, at least a score of 8/20 must be obtained in order to pass for the course. |
|
|
|
| Consequences | -Students who are unjustified absent at the journal clubs or tutor sessions, receive as final grade for the course a “N unjustified absent” and have to attend the journal club in the next academic year to receive their final grade. The student needs to re-enroll in the course in the next academic year. In this case, partial grades can be transferred to the next academic year.
-A student who achieves a score lower than 8/20 on one (or more) parts of the evaluation will receive "F fail" as final result. This final result is not tolerable.
A student who scores at least 8/20 for all parts of the evaluation receives as score a weighted average of the different grades. This final mark is tolerable. Eg. 8/20 + 16/20 = 12/20 (passed). |
