Biomedical science is the study of the human body, its structure and function in health and disease. Biomedical scientists require an understanding of medical biochemistry, microbiology, pharmacology, cell and molecular biology, anatomy, physiology, infectious diseases and neuroscience. Students will have opportunity to learn: how diseases manifest in the human body, and the molecular basis of human disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, malaria, cancer and infectious diseases, the ability to understand, critically analyze and interpret scientific and biomedical data, how to undertake and apply biomedical research and be able to read scientific publications.
