These will be built upon the firm underpinning that humans and their activity are also part of the natural world. Some material with focus upon preventing further damage but the emphasis will be a sustainable incorporation of society and ecosystem.The key thread will be the incorporation of conservation based ideas into sustainable and equitable frameworks. Not only in the proximate urban setting but at the planetary level. Well planned and integrated ¿greenspace¿ have the potential for providing areas of high biodiversity they may also deliver highly useful environmental goods and services, including coping with a diverse range of problems ranging from drainage and pollution, coping with food and water security, all the way to improvements in both physical and mental health.The module aims to provide you with an insight into the variety of ways the landscape may be managed and utilised when trying to provide a more collective stewardship of our environment. As such it will cover a wide range of traditionally disparate disciplines ranging from the biological and biophysical components through to the human factors, both positive and negative, that contribute to this area of study.Integral collaborative work alongside professionals will strengthen your knowledge and employability of real world 21st century conservation projects. Whilst working on these projects you will develop a deep understanding and you will be asked to share your knowledge through the delivery of a short session as the expert on your project to provide a case study for other members of the group.Overall the module will explore the idea that protection of the environment and the economy are not mutually exclusive and give you some of the knowledge and approaches that the environmental professional is increasingly confronted by, competing or even conflicting environmental objectives, further complicated by the multifunctional character of the ultimate goal, planetary sustainability.</p> <p><strong>Module code: </strong>BIOL60672</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="modal modal-slide" aria-hidden="true" data-modal="the-brain" data-slider-isrefreshed="0"> <div class="modal__overlay"> <div class="modal__container" role="dialog"> <header class="modal__header"> <div></div> <button class="modal__close" aria-label="Close modal" data-modal-close="" type="button" /> </header> <div class="modal__content"> <div> <div> <div> <h3 class="h4 card__title">The Brain</h3> <p>There are four key themes encompassed within this module:1.

During this module we will examine both descriptors, and the implications for how we go about conserving biodiversity. We will look at the various meanings of terms such as biodiversity, conservation and rarity. We will critically examine the role of zoos, biotechnology and species reintroductions as conservation strategies, as well as the role of ecological theories and concepts (e.g. Island Biogeography Theory, metapopulation theory, landscape ecology, population viability analysis). This will include a more general look at the role of theories and models in science. The single-species (e.g. flagship and umbrella species) and habitat-based (e.g. biodiversity hotspots) approaches will be examined.

Alongside these case studies, you will attend lectures and undertake online learning to develop your knowledge of biomedical investigations across all disciplines. You will then apply your knowledge and evaluation through group workshops where each case will be discussed in a Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) format, integrating clinical data with the results of biomedical investigations, and evidence-based practice.Discipline-specific content will include the role of routine and specialist haematology in the diagnosis and classification of anaemias, malignancies and monitoring of coagulation pathways; the role of transfusion science in the preparation and supply of therapeutic blood products; the role of clinical biochemistry in the monitoring of organ and system function and dysfunction, and the assessment of nutritional status; the role of cellular and molecular pathology in the diagnosis and stratification of malignancies; and the role of clinical microbiology in the diagnosis and treatment of infections. Throughout the module, you will be encouraged to develop a critically evaluative approach, with emphasis given to the appropriate requesting and interpreting of clinical tests, sensitivity, specificity and predictive value, and the uncertainty of measurement in a clinical context.</p> <p><strong>Module code: </strong>BIOL60667</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="modal modal-slide" aria-hidden="true" data-modal="cancer-biology-and-regenerative-medicine" data-slider-isrefreshed="0"> <div class="modal__overlay"> <div class="modal__container" role="dialog"> <header class="modal__header"> <div></div> <button class="modal__close" aria-label="Close modal" data-modal-close="" type="button" /> </header> <div class="modal__content"> <div> <div> <div> <h3 class="h4 card__title">Cancer Biology And Regenerative Medicine</h3> <p>Tumour biology will be studied under four broad headings, each one considering tumours on a larger scale. 1. Molecular and Cellular Tumour Biology: Here we will study genetic changes associated with carcinogenesis including the effects of chemical and physical carcinogens, oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes and their relationship to DNA repair mechanisms and cell cycle progression. Changes in cellular morphology and behaviour associated with carcinogenesis will also be studied.2. Tumour Growth and Treatment. Within this section we will study the changes in tissue architecture associated with the progression from normality to malignancy and metastasis. We will also consider, in the context of tumour development, the effectiveness and mechanisms of currently used approaches of tumour therapy including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. 3.Whole Body Effects of Tumours: This section will include study of the effects that tumours may have on parts of the body distant from their site of growth due to either their physical growth e.g. through blockage of the alimentary tract, or their metabolic effects e.g. through the secretion of ectopic hormones. This section will also include screening and diagnostic tests for cancer. 4.Tumour Epidemiology: Here we will consider the findings of large scale studies of the incidence tumours in populations. The balance between genetic, epigenetic and environmental influences will be evaluated together with an evaluation of the possible effectiveness of intervention strategies to reduce tumour incidence by changing behaviour and lifestyle. The second part of the module considers the discipline of regenerative medicine and stem cell biology. You will study stem cell biology in depth and their application to regenerative medicine. You will study the molecular and genetic control of cell fate specification and differentiation., including stem cell niches, adult, embryonic and cancer stem cells. Induced pluripotency and the use of stem cells in therapy. Consideration will be given to existing and potential clinical use of stem cells and their derivatives, and of the ethical issues that this raises. As this is a rapidly developing field, strong emphasis will be placed on understanding the current research in this area.</p> <p><strong>Module code: </strong>BIOL60664</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="modal modal-slide" aria-hidden="true" data-modal="medical-immunology-and-immunotherapy" data-slider-isrefreshed="0"> <div class="modal__overlay"> <div class="modal__container" role="dialog"> <header class="modal__header"> <div></div> <button class="modal__close" aria-label="Close modal" data-modal-close="" type="button" /> </header> <div class="modal__content"> <div> <div> <div> <h3 class="h4 card__title">Medical Immunology And Immunotherapy</h3> <p>In this module you will study how the immune response develops and resolves, focussing on the activation and functional diversity of T and B cell responses including T helper cell differentiation and regulatory T cell function. The cellular requirements, molecules and associated signalling pathways, required for each of these processes will be covered. Following on from this we will discuss how these processes can be modulated to aid in the control of disease.You will go on to understand the role of clinical immunology departments in the diagnosis and management of conditions affecting the immune system. The importance of basic and translational research, and how these fit into the remit of HCS, will be examined.The history, development and current diversity of immunotherapy treatments will be discussed. Their impact on patient outcomes, both actual and potential, will be considered. Biologics such as monoclonal antibody therapies, antibody-drug conjugates, CAR T cell therapy, vaccines, and cytokine therapy are examples of the immunotherapies that could be covered. Elements of design and development, clinical trials, funding and the relationship to personalised medicine will be covered. The influence of genomics on the development and impact of cancer immunotherapies will be considered.A patient first approach will be taken throughout the module considering the importance of being able to convey complex mechanisms, processes and therapies to a lay audience.</p> <p><strong>Module code: </strong>BIOL60673</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="modal modal-slide" aria-hidden="true" data-modal="integrated-biology-of-disease" data-slider-isrefreshed="0"> <div class="modal__overlay"> <div class="modal__container" role="dialog"> <header class="modal__header"> <div></div> <button class="modal__close" aria-label="Close modal" data-modal-close="" type="button" /> </header> <div class="modal__content"> <div> <div> <div> <h3 class="h4 card__title">Integrated Biology Of Disease</h3> <p>The module studies the interrelationships that are involved in the development of multifactorial human diseases and of their relationships with each other. Many of the major chronic multifactorial disorders that affect the Worlds population in the 21st Century are a result of genetic, environmental or even it could be argued behavioural factors. This module explores the impact of these factors on disease development and thus reviews the current understanding of their aetiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment. Examples of diseases are cardiovascular disease (such as atherosclerosis and high blood pressure), diabetes mellitus, obesity and amyloidosis.</p> <p><strong>Module code: </strong>BIOL60669</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="modal modal-slide" aria-hidden="true" data-modal="applied-parasitology-and-medical-entomology" data-slider-isrefreshed="0"> <div class="modal__overlay"> <div class="modal__container" role="dialog"> <header class="modal__header"> <div></div> <button class="modal__close" aria-label="Close modal" data-modal-close="" type="button" /> </header> <div class="modal__content"> <div> <div> <div> <h3 class="h4 card__title">Applied Parasitology And Medical Entomology</h3> <p>Applied parasitology will investigate the interactions between parasites and their hosts. The focus will primarily be placed on human health effects but will include important veterinary examples. Parasitic groups will include, for example, protozoa, helminths, ectoparasites and vector borne infections. Many of the vector borne infections are carried by insects and mites that are within the scope of medical entomology, although there are notable exceptions.Medical entomology relies on a thorough understanding of vector insect biology, ecology and the behaviour. Haematophagy is studied very much from the anthropological perspective, with a focus on the effects of insects of medical importanceCo-ordinated global activities of surveillance and control are examined and we will look at current concerns and threats both nationally and internationally. Management strategies are explored through example and the lessons learnt from history.
