PR19.1. Apply existing research methods, develop and implement new methods and technologies to address specific scientific, theoretical, and applied problems in biochemistry. PR20.1. Apply specialized professional knowledge and practical skills to address research and practical tasks in the field of biochemistry, and develop practical recommendations based on research findings in biochemistry and related sciences.

Full-time form

1. Successful completion of the courses "Methods of Modern Biological Research," "Bioinformatics," and "Computer Modeling in Biology." 2. Ability to independently work with scientific and educational-methodological literature and apply practical skills in laboratory work. 3. Possession of basic systems analysis skills.

The course explores the fundamentals of neurochemistry through the study of the effects of neurotropic substances on the human body. Successful completion of the course requires knowledge of the principles of experimental design, the ability to conduct biological research using modern equipment, and a sound understanding of the major areas of biological sciences, including genetics, physiology, microbiology and virology, immunology, general anatomy, biochemistry, and related disciplines. The course provides a systematic overview of the fundamentals of the neurobiology and neurochemistry of addiction to neurotropic substances and analyzes the general molecular mechanisms underlying the development of addiction. It also presents a brief overview of the major classes of neurotropic substances, using their best-known representatives as examples.
