Cells are a basic building block of life. Diseases and disorders like cancer, diabetes, meningitis or even a ‘stomach bug’ are caused by dysfunction in the development of cells. This level 6 Certificate course in developmental biology will provide participants with a broad understanding of cells and their development, as well as the application of this knowledge to technologies to improve the human condition. This course will provide participants with comprehensive training in developmental biology, with emphasis on animal systems. It will also give participants practical training in developmental biology laboratory techniques, which includes experimental design, analysis and presentation. Students will gain in-depth knowledge and understanding of the processes that govern embryonic development.

Description
This level 6 Certificate course will highlight the relevance of developmental biology to the fields of stem cell and cancer biology, cellular homeostasis and tissue regeneration, and to the process of normal ageing. It will also provide an awareness of how research in this field impacts on society. Participants will deal with ethical issues such as in-vitro fertilisation (IVF), reproductive/therapeutic cloning, stem cell technology and genetically manipulated foods and crops. This course will also equip participants with knowledge and skills involved in embryonic and foetal development and health; prenatal diagnosis and management of pregnancy.
