Module overview
This module is designed for Biomedical Engineering students to extend their core biomedical science understanding while developing sound foundations in electromagnetism and in digital health, relevant to biomedical engineering.
In this module, you will learn about the different types of macromolecules found in cells, with a particular emphasis on DNA and proteins. The module will study the role of nucleic acids and genetic information in defining protein structure, how protein structure influences function, and the principles by which DNA and protein can be manipulated by molecular biology.
This module will also introduce the methods used to collect, present, and analyse data in the life sciences and to estimate models from data, with focused application to introductory level statistical genetics. These topics will provide a grounding in the principles underlying modern biological data science.
This module will also introduce the physical concepts of fields and waves plus the behaviour of materials in electric and magnetic fields, to provide a solid foundation in the physics underpinning biomedical technology.
