Contemporary themes and techniques in medical sciences
This module aims to give students an overview of current and emerging themes in medical sciences, both from clinical and laboratory perspectives. This will cover topics generating high media interest, such as the COVID virus and alternative methods of transplantation as well as new laboratory techniques. In addition, the module will be supported by two practical classes for which students will be required to conduct mini-projects based around the identification of patient samples and how these are presented as research cases.

Themau a thechnegau cyfoes yn y gwyddorau meddygol
Nod y modiwl hwn yw rhoi trosolwg i fyfyrwyr o'r themâu presennol a'r rhai sy'n datblygu yn y gwyddorau meddygol, o safbwynt clinigol a'r labordy. Bydd yn ymdrin â phynciau sy'n denu sylw sylweddol yn y cyfryngau, megis y firws Zika a dulliau trawsblannu amgen yn ogystal â thechnegau labordy newydd. Yn ogystal, ategir y modiwl gan ddau ddosbarth ymarferol - disgwylir i fyfyrwyr ymgymryd â phrosiectau bach ar sail dadansoddi samplau cleifion, a sut caiff y rhain eu cyflwyno fel astudiaethau ymchwil. Bydd y modiwl hefyd yn cynnwys 'cynhadledd' undydd pan fydd myfyrwyr yn cyflwyno data ac yn cael profiad o awyrgylch cynhadledd ymchwil.

Skills for Researchers
The modern scientist graduate is expected to have gained extensive laboratory-based experience and this is certainly essential for any student intent on pursuing a research-based career. Skills for Researchers provides students with the opportunity to acquire the core skills to be able to conduct, analyse, interpret and present scientific experiments. A proportion of the module will be spent in the laboratory gaining hands-on experience. Skills acquired in this module will form the basis for future experimental work, including the final year project. Students will have the opportunity to provide feedback to peers and engage with a variety of online learning materials.

Sgiliau i Ymchwilwyr
Disgwylir i'r myfyriwr gwyddonol modern graddedig ennill profiad helaeth mewn labordy ac mae hyn yn sicr yn hanfodol i unrhyw fyfyriwr sy'n bwriadu dilyn gyrfa yn seiliedig ar ymchwil. Mae Sgiliau i Ymchwilwyr yn rhoi cyfle i fyfyrwyr gaffael y sgiliau craidd i allu cynnal, dadansoddi, dehongli a chyflwyno arbrofion gwyddonol. Bydd cyfran fawr o'r modiwl yn cael ei wario yn y labordy yn ennill profiad ymarferol. Bydd sgiliau a gaffaelir yn y modiwl hwn yn sail ar gyfer gwaith arbrofol yn y dyfodol, gan gynnwys prosiect y flwyddyn olaf. Bydd myfyrwyr yn cael cyfle i roi adborth i gyfoedion ac ymgysylltu ag amrywiaeth o ddeunyddiau dysgu ar-lein.

Genetics of Cancer
This module will provide students with an advanced understanding about the genetic mechanisms involved in carcinogenesis, and how these underlying processes and molecules affect the human body.
-
PM-344
Capstone Project
The aim of this module is to provide a capstone experience to students¿ learning, through participating in their own enquiry-based research project. The project may be laboratory or non-laboratory based, but it will always involve a research question that is drawn from the literature, and focused on a topic relevant to the life sciences. It will ask a novel research question and involve the critical analysis of research findings. Students will refine their oral and written communication skills to a graduate level through creating an introductory presentation on the project background, and a written dissertation and oral presentation on their research conclusions.

PM-347
Human Immunopathology
The module aims to provide students with a greater understanding of the human immune system and the causes of a range of diseases associated with immune dysfunction including autoimmune diseases, metabolic disorders and neurological conditions.
-
PM-357
Biomedical Laboratory Techniques
The module will provide practical and in depth theory of applications and equipment available to MSci students in the biomedical research laboratories based at the Medical School. The module will provide guidelines and rationale for experimental design, and data and statistical analysis.

Advanced Research Project A
The advanced research project is a key component of the final year of study, providing students with experience of
conducting cutting-edge research in the Institute of Life Science and Centre for Nanohealth over an extended period of time.
The project will fall into one of the current medically-related research themes: Biomarkers and Genes; Microbes and
Immunity; Devices and health informatics. Students will employ a range of advanced analytical procedures to investigate a specific topic.
In addition, they will gain experience in preparing a research proposal and presenting their data in various formats.
Research topics will be assigned that are appropriate to a specific degree title. For example, a Genetics student
could be assigned a project investigating gene function in an insect vector of a tropical disease, using the technique
of RNA interference.
The advanced research project is divided between 2 modules, PM-400 and PM-402. PM-400
includes the following components: (1) Preparation of a research poster, (2) A 15-minute audio recording giving a presentation of the research area and (3) Oral defence of the project in a viva.

PM-401
Science Communication
This module will encompass a range of communication modes, from presentation of science to the general public to critically analysing a scientific paper.
The module will be run as a series of online seminars to prepare, firstly, for
a short 3 minute thesis-like presentations to both a professional and non-professional audience.
This will be complemented by preparation of short, New Scientist-style articles by each student on the topic of their presentation. Students will be assigned a topic that is appropriate to their degree title.
In the latter half of the module, the focus will be on skills-training for writing a scientific paper, preparing the ground for their project dissertations.
