General pathology
General pathology describes a complex and broad field that involves the study of the mechanisms behind cell and tissue injury and understanding how the body responds to and repairs injury. Examples of areas that may be studied include necrosis, neoplasia, wound healing, inflammation and how cells adapt to injury. Thorough understanding in these areas is applied in the diagnosis of disease. General pathology is also the term used to describe anatomical and clinical pathology.
This field covers areas of pathology, but at a less specialist level. A person working in general pathology would be trained in the areas of laboratory analysis, such as hematology and clinical chemistry. However, they would have a less detailed knowledge than a person who specializes in one of these fields.
Research Methods and Ethics
In its most common sense, methodology is the study of research methods. However, the term can also refer to the methods themselves or to the philosophical discussion of associated background assumptions.
Epidemiology and Infectious Diseases
Infectious disease epidemiology is the study of how and why infectious diseases emerge and spread among different populations, and what strategies can prevent or contain the spread of disease at the population level.
Clinical Biochemistry II
Clinical Biochemistry II builds on Clinical Biochemistry I to encourage an enhanced appreciation of the clinical and analytical aspects of biochemical diagnostic procedures related to major physiological systems, organs, and processes including homeostatic systems, endocrinology, renal, cardiac, gastric, pancreatic,
Enzymology
Enzymology is the branch of biochemistry aiming to understand how enzymes work through the relationship between structure and function and how they fold into their native state.
Pharmacology
Pharmacology is the scientific study of the effects of drugs and chemicals on living organisms where a drug can be broadly defined as any chemical substance, natural or synthetic, which affects a biological system.
Toxicology
Toxicology is a field of science that helps us understand the harmful effects that chemicals, substances, or situations, can have on people, animals, and the environment.
