SHORT COURSES
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY - DNA repair: new study strategies
Speaker: Débora de Oliveira Lopes, Rafael Cançado e Bárbara Catarina Teodoro (UFSJ)
They are markers that can be quantified experimentally and that can indicate the occurrence of a certain normal or pathological function of an organism or a response to a pharmacological agent. They are used to identify possible risks of a disease and to approve medications.
FOOD BIOCHEMISTRY - Obesity and Diabetes: about food, immunity and energy metabolism
Speaker: Heitor Paula-Neto (UFRJ)
Science that uses knowledge of the chemical composition and functionality of the nutrients present in foods in order to promote health and quality of life and to establish parameters so that the food industry can guarantee nutritional quality and food safety.
ENZYMOLOGY - Strategies for the stabilization of industrial enzymes
Speaker: Adriano Aguiar Mendes (Unifal)
A branch of science that aims to understand enzymes as well as their chemical nature linked to biological activity. Enzymes act as catalysts of chemical reactions fundamental for maintenance at the cellular level and are essential for industrial biotechnology processes.
PHARMACOGENETICS - Translational biochemistry in Oncology
Speaker: Raquel Carvalho Montenegro (UFC)
A branch of science that studies the genetic variability of individuals in relation to specific drugs, since certain individuals may react differently to the same type of medicine depending on their ethnicity and / or other genetic variations.
IMMUNOLOGY - Perspectives in immunotherapy for the treatment of solid tumors
Speaker: Marcela D'Alincourt Salazar (City of Hope Medical Center - USA)
Biology branch studying the immune system. The responsible for the defense of organisms against external elements such as viruses, bacteria, protozoa and allergic agents, besides being a fundamental tool for the development of vaccines.
EXPERTISE FORENSIC
Speaker: Carlos Eduardo Leal (PCMG)
The experts help in the scientific investigation of crimes. The professional can work in several forensic areas, with the main purpose of collecting evidence and presenting them in the form of an expert report. For this, the criminal expert may use techniques from specific areas of criminalistics, such as forensic chemistry.
PRODUCTION OF ARTISANAL BEER - Industrial Brewing: From theory to industrial reality
Speaker: Lívio Guimarães Pompeu (Cervejaria Divüs)
The mini course has a theoretical / practical load that seeks to elucidate the processes involved in beer production. The content ranges from the grinding stage of malt (grain derived from barley) to potting in cans and bottles. The handcrafted beer market is growing more and is a great opportunity for connoisseurs.
PROTEOMIC
Speaker: Leonardo Saboia Vahia Matilde (UFRJ)
Biotechnology area that studies the protein and its isoforms contained in a biological sample is an organism, whether tissue, cell organelle or cell, determined by the genome of the same.
TOXICOLOGY - Natural and synthetic peptides as new drug models
Speaker: Maria Elena de Lima Perez Garcia (UFMG)
A branch of pharmaceutical science that studies the adverse effects that chemicals can cause in the body. There are several branches of the discipline that can be explored, such as clinical toxicology, environmental toxicology, and forensic toxicology.
