Subject Description | The material in this subject is directly integrated with and follows on from 531-301 Cellular Basis of Disease. It forms the core group of lectures to be taken by students enrolled in 531-303 and 531-304. This unit will expand and deepen the study of disease processes and their investigation; the genetic and molecular causes and results of these processes will be considered under the following theme headings: Immunological Disease, Neurological Disease, Genetic Disease and Gene Therapy and Environmental Disease. The lectures will focus on questions under investigation in current areas of research related to these topics. |
Assessment | A 3-hour end-of-semester written examination, 2 multiple choice examinations to be held during semester. |
Prescribed Texts | References to current Scientific Journal articles will be given during the lectures. |
