Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2017-18

La Biología del Desarrollo, es una materia esencial para adentrarse en el conocimiento de la ontogenia y de los ciclos vitales de los organismos, especialmente de los metazoos. Es una disciplina imprescindible para la formación y proyección profesional de los biólogos, especialmente en el ámbito sanitario (medicina y biología reproductiva, fertilización “in vitro”, etc.) y biotecnológico (medicina reparativa y regenerativa, ingeniería tisular, etc.)

Adecuación al perfil profesional: el estudio de la Biología del Desarrollo proporcionará al alumno la formación que para alcanzar las competencias recogidas tanto en el Libro Blanco de los estudios de Biología (http://www.aneca.es/media/150328/libroblanco_biologia_def.pdf) como en la Ficha Técnica de Propuesta de grado del RD 55/2005, de 21 de enero (http://www.unizar.es/eees/doc/Ficha%20grado%20BIOLOGIA.pdf) y son las que puede desempeñar el Biólogo en su actividad profesional:

(1) Realizar estudios sobre la organización, clasificación, identificación e investigación de los seres vivos, así como sus restos y señales de su actividad

(2) Capacita para acceder a la formación de determinadas especialidades de Ciencias de la Salud que le permitan realizar actividades de: consejo genético y planificación familiar, embriología humana, educación sanitaria y medioambiental, análisis clínicos, bioquímica clínica, inmunología, microbiología y parasitología, etc.

(3) Enseñanza de la Biología en los términos establecidos por la legislación educativa.

(4) Asesoramiento científico y técnico sobre temas biológicos.

Adecuación al perfil académico: La Biología del Desarrollo es fundamental en los estudios de Biología, por ser una disciplina fundamental de la Biología moderna, debido al alto impacto que el estudio del desarrollo de los organismos animales, incluido el hombre, posee tanto social como económicamente, en el mundo actúal, a saber: Medicina y Biología Reproductiva (Reproducción asistida, uso médico de “Stem cells”, etc.), Medicina Veterinaria y Agropecuaria, Medicina Regenerativa y Reparativa, Ingeniería tisular, etc.
