About this programme
The core modules of the programme: Module Genetics This module examines how genes control the growth and development of an organism throughout its entire life cycle. The module equips students with the ability to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying inheritance and gene regulation, to identify the genetic causes and inheritance patterns of hereditary diseases, and to explain mutations and the principles of their analysis. The module covers the fundamentals of vertebrate development before birth, including organogenesis, the theoretical foundations of stem cell biology, and regenerative medicine. Module Functional Genomics This module is divided into three sections; bioinformatics; high throughput technologies and systems biology; and population genetics. Specific topics covered include genomes and statistics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. The laboratory portion of the module consists of computer exercises, some of which students conduct individually, others of which are conducted in small groups, or by the group as a whole. Module Infections and Immune Response In this module, students concentrate on the molecular basis of interactions between pathogens and their hosts. They also focus on epidemiology. Molecular basics of virology, bacteriology, parasitology, and the immunology of infections are also part of this module. Module Cardiovascular Disease and Pharmacology This module covers the cellular and molecular mechanism of the development and progression of car
