LQB508 Pathophysiology

LQB508 Pathophysiology is an advanced unit that will build upon your existing knowledge of disease processes and practical skills gained in LSB258, LQB388 and LQB488.  This unit will give you an in-depth understanding of the pathophysiology of a wide range of diseases/disorders with particular emphasis conditions identified as areas of national health priority by the Australian National Medical Health and Research Council (NHMRC) such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and metabolic syndromes. The lecture content is complemented by case study workshops.  The  practical component will assist you in developing the technical and analytical skills required to investigate the pathophysiology of disease processes crucial in both research and industry settings. Critical evaluation and communication, both written and oral,  of complex pathophysiological research data is also a key component of this unit.
