Doctoral degree programmes

Curriculum and schedules
Course presentation

The programme is composed of three types of courses:

The published list is for academic year 2019/2020.

The doctoral candidates, together with their mentors and the field coordinators, design individual study programmes by selecting courses from core and both types of elective course pools. The core courses are modular. For each scientific field a choice of at least 20 credits is needed from the core modules proposed by the respective scientific fields, while the remaining 10 credits can be chosen from modules of other core courses. Remaining credits can be obtained from the selection of various elective courses. Elective credits can also be selected from the university pool of generic skills courses, listed at the web page of the University of Ljubljana.


Core courses

Core courses are designed for each specific scientific field. The content of courses is chosen on the basis of the research work of the professors.

Each scientific field proposed at least one core course, which is as a rule constructed from modules. The selection of modules is made in agreement with the mentor and the field coordinator.

Understanding the mechanisms how chemicals disrupt biological targets is increasingly important in deciding on the safe use of chemical in the workplace and in everyday life.

The course attempts to introduce on the selected cases: mechanisms of transport of compounds across the cell membrane and toxic effects of compounds on it; the role of metabolism in the formation of reactive metabolites that covalently interact with macromolecules of cells; the role of radicals and substances capable of redox reactions to generate oxidative stress in cells; mechanisms of necrotic and apoptotic cell death induced by compounds; specific/nonspecific activation of enzymes and receptors caused by xenobiotics; toxic effects of compounds on mitochondria and peroxisomes, and energy state of cells; specific and nonspecific interactions (covalent /noncovalent) of substances with macromolecules in relation to the toxic effects of compounds (genotoxicity, immunotoxicity, etc.); mechanisms of toxic action of various groups of xenobiotics, which occur in the environment in different groups of organisms (bacteria, animals, plants, fungi); the application of biosensors and biomarkers for evaluation of the toxicity of compounds in conjunction with the corrupting effects on individual organisms, populations, community and ecosystem.

The course is divided into three independent modules, each equivalent to 10 ECTS. Students can sign in all three modules (30 ECTS) or at least two of them while the remaining 10 credits can be selected from modules offered in other core courses.

Module 1: Relationship between structure and toxicity
Covalent and noncovalent interactions of xenobiotics with macromolecules in living cells will be presented and formation of reactive oxygen compounds will be discussed in relation with genotoxic and immunotoxic effects of the compounds. Biotransformation reactions of the substance (functionalisation and conjugation) will be explained, and the consequences of the presence of their products in different tissues will be discussed. The role of radicals in the cell will be presented and the groups of substances that allow their formation will be discussed. We will also present some of the xenobiotics that non-specifically or specifically interact with cell macromolecules. Basic understanding of toxicological tests, including the quantum mechanic methods and bimolecular simulations that allow toxicity prediction of substances will be presented.

It enables recognition of organism dysfunction through morphological alterations in organs, tissues and cells and contribute to better understanding of organism response to the impact of harmful factors in disease processes. It also deals with the interconnection between changes in the biochemical parameters and the function of organ systems, mineral and electrolyte metabolism disturbances and the assessment of acid-bases balance and changes associated with the alimentary intoxications.

Module 3: Food safety
In module 3, students gain knowledge and understanding of positive and negative effect of interaction between human and animals, with an emphasis on consuming products of animal origin, using epidemiological and statistical tools to estimate the risk, gain new knowledge in the technology of meat and dairy processing industries, as well as fish processing industry, clams, crabs, frogs, eggs, honey and products from these commodities.
