MED3ATA

2020

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

In MED3ATA you will examine non-communicable diseases of significance in modern society. Our knowledge of the mechanisms leading to aging will be explored followed by in-depth examination of diseases of the Central Nervous System, with emphasis on neurodegenerative diseases. Our increasing knowledge of cancer biology will be investigated including causes and susceptibilities, mechanisms of growth, spread, as well as existing and emerging treatments. The challenges faced by research into the mechanisms and treatment of these disorders will also be discussed. The lecture material will be supplemented by research topics in further areas of societal significance such as cardiovascular and metabolic disease.
