this course integrates
advanced physiological knowledge using examples from four different organ
systems to help explain how these systems interact in health and disease;
use of real-life clinical
examples, diagnostic test data and a literature-based research project
facilitates an enquiry and interest-based learning experience;
with an aging population
and ever-increasing number of people with complex diseases, you will appreciate
why understanding how organs interact is the key to improving the diagnosis and
treatment of various disorders;
state-of-the-art practical
classes measuring physiological functions delivers hands-on science and
clinically-related skills to develop professional preparation and knowledge-based
practice
PY3803: EPITHELIAL PHYSIOLOGY
15 credits
Level 3
Second Term
This advanced course explores epithelial physiology in normal gastrointestinal, renal and respiratory function.
Students will examine how epithelial cells regulate the movement of ions, nutrients and water, and how disruption contributes to diseases such as infectious diarrhoea and cystic fibrosis.
Students will develop an understanding of epithelial transport mechanisms and the experimental approaches used to study them.
The course includes a research-led wet-lab practical supported by workshops, data analysis guidance and a post-practical seminar.
Students will develop technical, scientific, analytical, communication, teamwork and employability skills through a scientific paper-style lab report and group Research Symposium.
PY4302: DEVELOPMENTAL NEUROSCIENCE
15 credits
Level 4
First Term
ever wondered where your brain comes from?;
this course merges cutting edge developmental biology, neuroscience, and cellular physiology to describe how the nervous system arises and gets wired up;
the bewildering arrays of cells in the nervous system interconnect in highly specific ways. Here you will learn what dictates neuronal cell fate, how neurons find appropriate partners and how cells communicate to generate behaviour;
in addition to lectures from dynamic researchers this course will hone core skills for basic scientists and medics through group presentation work, independent library research and scientific writing
