Description

The course provides students from an engineering background, with limited life science expericneexperience, with a rigorous introduction to those elements of the biosciences likely to have most relevance to interdisciplinary work in fields such as engineering or applied chemistry. The course introduces students to the requirements of bioscience research and to support them in develop skills they will need to succeed when collaborating with life scientists, or themselves carrying out biological research, in their future careers. The course equips students with the vocabulary necessary participate in projects relating to cells, viruses, nucleic acids and their constituents.

Upon completion of the course, a student should be able to:听

  • Evaluate and interpret the physical organisation and behaviour of cells and application of this information in settings such as bioengineering.听
  • Explain and plan proposals relating to the structure, function and experimental analysis of nucleic acids and application of this information in situations such as biomedicine.听
  • Classify and generalise the structure, function and experimental analysis of proteins and application of this information in situations such as biotherapeutics.听
  • Apply and assess the function and experimental analysis of the human immune system and application of this information in bioindustry.听
  • Judge the structure, function and experimental analysis of viruses and application of this information in fields such as vaccines and gene therapy.听
