Topic

The course helps to understand the carbohydrate metabolism in the human body. It is primarily recommended for second-year students after the "Introduction to Biochemistry" subject exam. During the course, we try to talk about the metabolism of carbohydrates in a more medical language, with case presentations and their interactive processing. The course will help you to pass the "Biochemistry" test, as well as help you with the "Medical Biochemistry" colloquium.
