This module aims to provide a firm understanding of the principles and practice of clinical microbiology; principally bacteriology and virology. Taught lectures and interactive tutorials will introduce the theory of infectious disease whilst laboratory classes cover the standard methodologies applied in the diagnosis of infection, and their safe practice http://www.gcu.ac.uk/study/modules/info/?Modul e=M3C520231 This module will develop an understanding of the molecular genetic basis of inherited and somatic disease in humans http://www.gcu.ac.uk/study/modules/info/?Modul e=MHC120243 The module studies the interactions between nutrition, diet and other factors in the prevention and causes of disease and ill health. Nutritional aspects of obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes prevention, cancer prevention, bone health, dental health, eating disorders, physical activity and sports performance are explored in depth. Students are introduced to nutritional epidemiology, study design, critical appraisal and literature review. Theories of public health, health policy, health education and health promotion are introduced Exam-10% Exam-20% Exam-50% CW-20% Timetabl e Module Leader Sharron Dolan Mon, Tues & Wed Susan Lang Exam-80% CW-20% John Craft Exam-40% CW-60% Jennie Jackson MHB120328 Pathophysiology 20 and Therapeutics B MHB220335 Toxicology B 20 http://www.gcu.ac.uk/study/modules/info/?Modul e=M3B420331 This module will build on students' previous knowledge of normal physiology and pathophysiology and on any specialist experience to provide an in-depth knowledge and understanding of selected disease processes and on the scientific basis of modern methods of diagnosis and treatment. To provide an integrated view of the pathophysiological and molecular mechanisms of toxicity consequent on exposure to manmade and natural toxic chemicals in mammals and other selected animals. The material will consist of three sections covering: (1) Biochemical Toxicology (2) Analytical methods for monitoring of drugs and their metabolites (3) Mechanisms of Toxicity http://www.gcu.ac.uk/study/modules/info/?Modul e=MHB220335 CW-12% Exam-18% Exam-70% Yvonne Dempsie Exam-80% CW-20% Linda Walsh
