As a natural scientist, my interests remain very broad, however, I mainly focus on organic chemistry and aspects on immunology and pharmacology. I began studying cellular biology in my first years at University, but have since diverted my interest along the immunotherapy pathway focusing on selective toxicity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This module will allow me to extend my understanding of real-life applications and ethics behind the closed doors of engineering replacement body parts. I am particularly intrigued to look closer at the medical ethics aspect of the module, as a future in ethics or patent law is something I am considering. Equipping myself with the knowledge and reasoning behind the implications of stem cells and medical devices, will help me to learn the foundation of assembling scientific reasoning which I can apply to further and current examples in the medical industry and impact such inventions will have on society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am excited to explore prosthesis and the mechanics involved in installing false limbs, something which I have never looked into before. This module is very significant and I believe it is important to spread the awareness behind new and technological advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In line with the ethos of the Natural Sciences course, this interdisciplinary module focuses on improving student skill set beyond written exams, via reflective learning and interactive discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
