Biological Sciences (Developmental, Regeneration and Stem Cells), BSc (Hons)

In the development of complex adult organisms, cells progressively specialize, forming at precise locations and times. This programme examines the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving this process, a revolutionary field where gene manipulation—such as mutating, introducing, or suppressing genes—enables scientists to understand genetic control of development. These insights hold potential for disease therapies and industrial uses. Key topics include basic anatomy, embryology, human genetics, sex determination, and stem cell biology, aiming to elucidate the molecular and genetic controls of organismal properties.Biological sciences encompass the study of living organisms, from environmental interactions to gene expression. With 12 subject areas like development, regeneration, and stem cells, the programme offers flexibility, allowing early exploration and later specialization. A skills-focused curriculum develops data analysis, programming, problem-solving, communication, and independent thinking, preparing graduates for diverse scientific applications.
