Genetics

Module code: BIS4019-B

Genetics is at the core of our very existence. Genetics explains how human bodies are built, inheritance, susceptibility to disease and response to treatments. Understanding the concepts of genetics can help drive advances in healthcare and personalised medicine. This module supports the programme by developing learners knowledge of the underlying concepts and core principles of Biomedical Science (PLO1) through understanding classical, molecular and clinical approaches to genetics. It also focuses on knowledge of inheritance, structure and role of red cell antigens. This module will support those students seeking knowledge to support their employment in research or clinical testing laboratories. Download the PDF for BIS4019-B_2024_5.pdf
