Biomedical Sciences
What is Biomedical Sciences?
Biomedical Sciences covers a range of biological and molecular sciences related to medicine, e.g. physiology, pharmacology, neuroscience, cell biology, microbiology, anatomy and histology, genetics, biochemistry, immunology, etc.
Understanding human disease requires expertise in a number of related topics. For example, research into infective diseases requires knowledge of Microbiology and Immunology whereas cancer involves Genetics and Molecular Cell Biology. Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes on the other hand involve Physiology, Metabolism and Endocrinology and together they all require knowledge of Pharmacology and Regenerative Medicine for the development of novel therapies. What the Biomedical Sciences course allows for is the need to maintain an overarching grasp of these different topics but then to have the option of becoming more focused later on.
