| Description:
| Aims: To provide students with the knowledge of how fundamental bioscience research can be translated into novel therapies for human disease. The unit will focus on "bench to bedside" research and the problems in translating basic biomedical science into treatments which benefit patients. Learning Outcomes: After taking this course the student should be able to: * Write a critical review of how fundamental bioscience research can be translated into novel therapies for specific human disease conditions; * Analyse the processes by which basic biomedical science is translated into health care practice for patient benefit (translational clinical science); * Communicate the key research findings related to clinical medicine. Skills: Learning and studying T/F/A, Written communication T/F/A, Oral communication T/F/A, Information handling & retrieval T/F/A. Content: This unit will highlight the importance of fundamental bioscience research in influencing clinical medicine. It will provide an understanding of the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment involved in some important areas of clinical medicine (including oncology, gastroenterology, neuroscience and cardiovascular medicine among others). It may also provide an insight into specific pathways required for drug design and development when applied to clinical trials and the design of translational end-points in clinical trials. v |
