Research Methods From Bench to Bedside (MEDC0017)

The module will provide the student with knowledge and understanding of the methods and processes which comprise medical research from bench to bedside. This will include consideration of the scientific literature, the importance of critical reading, the requirement for good experimental design, the importance of research integrity and governance, and the practice of good communication. It will also cover the processes of drug discovery, knowledge transfer and scientific enterprise. Consideration of these topics will improve understanding of research translation and demonstrate how medical research returns value in terms of health and economic gain.

HIV Frontiers from Research to Clinics (INIM0017)

This specialised module aims for you to gain updated, extensive knowledge of the current state-of-the art in HIV research and its applications in biology and medicine. Researchers within the Division of Infection and Immunity and external experts who are performing frontier research in a wide range of HIV fields will give lectures including their own cutting edge research. Clinicians will provide detailed understanding of the management of HIV. As the class size is relatively small, lecturers are looking forward to interactive, constructive sessions with you.

The aim is for you to gain current, in-depth knowledge of HIV biology, pathogenesis and clinical science through researcher-led teaching.

Learning outcomes

At the completion of the module, you will:

Gain an in-depth understanding of HIV biology by exploring virus-host cell interactions.
	Appreciate how HIV research has pioneered new fields of scientific research.
	Gain knowledge of infection history and pathogenesis of HIV in both cell and systemic levels.
	Acquire up-to-date knowledge on the approaches and progress made in the development of HIV prevention, therapy and cure.
	Acquire an understanding of the main principles of the clinical management of HIV infection.
As well as attending lectures/seminars you will have the opportunity to gain experience and develop your skills in critically reading a research paper of your choice and presenting this to your peers. You will also learn how to develop your own scientific ideas through preparing a small research proposal on an area that has engaged you, or on which you presented your research paper.
