Subject Description	Students completing this subject will: develop an appreciation of the spectrum of cellular, molecular and genetic responses to injury and the approaches and techniques used for their investigation; and carry out under supervision a group experimental project chosen from the following areas: neuropathology, ophthalmic pathology, immunopathology, transplantation, toxicology, oncology, vascular pathology, virology, renal pathology, liver pathology, haematology in a departmental research laboratory. The project will demonstrate the thought processes, techniques, data collection, analysis and interpretation involved in experimental work investigating disease.
Assessment	Practical laboratory work (continuous assessment) including work records; a group seminar presentation; project report (1500 words).
Prescribed Texts	References to current scientific journal articles will be given during the semester.
