The deviation of man from the state in which he was originally placed by nature seems to have proved to him a prolific source of diseases.
Cell and Molecular Biology equips you with a comprehensive understanding of the molecular structure and function of the cell. This unit introduces the basic principles and concepts of cell structure, function, specialisation, maintenance and replication, and introduces you to fundamental molecular mechanisms important to the organisation of the cell. The unit complements the material covered in human cell and molecular biology, anatomy and physiology in the first year of your studies. An important aspect of clinical practice and/or research is a broad knowledge and understanding of human disease states, the role of microbes in health and disease, and how the immune system functions to maintain health and fight disease. As part of your early biomedical sciences training, you need to appreciate general disease processes to help you prepare for your more advanced units in immunology, microbiology, pathology and/or a range of biomedical science disciplines. Whether your aim is to be a clinical or research scientist, appreciation of pathological processes will enable you to better understand how we identify, measure and manage diseases clinically and in a research context. Modern human biology is largely focused on unraveling and manipulating the genetic information stored in DNA to understand health and treat disease. Genetic information and associated technologies underpin medical advances that span disease diagnostics, vaccines, drugs, forensics, biomaterials, foodstuffs, environmental rehabilitation and even bioterrorism. This unit provides an introduction to the approaches of interrogating genome sequence data and simple genetic engineering technologies used to manipulate DNA sequences. Understanding the role of cells and how their cellular components are fundamental to a healthy life is crucial for your understanding of how they become disregulated in disease and how individual components might be targeted to treat diseases. This unit builds on your knowledge of cellular components to examine how these come together structurally and functionally to build cells and tissues that function as part of a whole organism capable of surviving and protecting itself from disease and trauma. It will provide a platform for students undertaking the final year cell and molecular biotechnology units. This unit will provide hands on laboratory experience working with cells and will enhance skills in assessing, summarising and placing biomedical research in the context of health and disease.
