Learning Objectives: Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:

• • Describe and differentiate the levels of organization of biological matter and explain their relevance to understanding human health in the context of the "One Health" concept.
  • Identify the principles, functioning and main clinical applications of current medical imaging technologies and select appropriate imaging techniques for common diagnostic scenarios.
  • Compare and critically evaluate current 2D and 3D in vitro model systems in terms of their development, implementation and application in biomedical research.
  • Explain the use of in vitro model systems to study disease mechanisms and demonstrate their importance in the context of preclinical research and drug development.
  • Evaluate and summarize approaches in cell-based therapies, regenerative medicine and personalized medicine, taking into account their potential as well as ethical and translational issues.
  • Communicate acquired knowledge effectively, work in interdisciplinary teams and reflect on the broader societal and ethical implications of biomedical technologies.
