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. Infection and immunity is the study of pathogenic organisms and how the human immune mechanisms mediate disease progression.This area of study requires the co-ordinated knowledge of both microbiology and immunology to fully understand microbial detection, disease progression and ultimately treatment and prevention. Both research and industry career options in infection and immunity require a solid understanding of theorectical and practical aspects of infection and immunity. This unit provides foundation knowledge and understanding of human infectious disease microbiology and topics including the spectrum of disease, diagnosis, aetiology, treatment, prevention, control and epidemiology. You will also learn about the laboratory processing of patient specimens with infectious diseases and how to work safely and competently in a PC2 diagnostic laboratory context. This unit is designed for students in biomedical sciences, to provide a strong grounding in microbiology and to contribute to the knowledge base of fundamental microbial processes that underpin the pathogenic potential of select species. This unit is a core unit in the infection and immunity strand, building on concepts introduced in Principles and Practice of Infectious Diseases (LQB362). Pathogen Biology and Pathogenesis (LQB494) continues the study of the host-microbe interaction with a focus on microbe-specific factors underpinning infectious disease progression, which is essential for future studies of more complicated or detailed molecular microbiology analyses. You will develop industry-relevant practical skills and use cutting-edge technology in laboratory classes, which will prepare you for a career in biomedical research, medical biotechnology and postgraduate studies in biomedical science.
