Cancer is the most common cause of death throughout all age groups. In order to combat cancer and other diseases such as Ebola, AIDS, Parkinson’s and heart disease or conditions such as dementia, it is essential to understand the mitigating factors and underlying biology. In this course you will look at cutting edge developments in medicine such as the synthesis routes of new drugs, regenerative medicine and antimicrobial resistance. You may also discuss some of the ethical issues surrounding drug development and consider the potential impact on the real world.
You will have the opportunity to meet scientists working in cutting edge research relevant to the science curriculum e.g. cancer research. You will be able to try out practical activities to support the teaching and learning of drug discovery and technology in the context of real world science.
Outcomes
Participants will be able to:
• develop and update their knowledge by engaging with scientists involved in cutting edge research
• use authentic contexts for the effective delivery of science content, and to deepen understanding of how science works, including controversies and ethical issues
• engage with active and inspiring teaching approaches and learning activities
