Cell, Individual & Community

Catalog description

This course provides a foundation of knowledge about the human body in health and disease. It gives an overview of important concepts on the biological mechanisms of disease at the cellular, individual, and population/ community levels. The course will focus on a natural progression in the development of health and disease, moving from a discussion of the cellular mechanisms, to manifestations in the individual, and finally, to disease effect and interventions at the community level. This course is designed to provide a firm foundation in the mechanisms of health and disease. Furthermore, each session will offer insights into current public health topics and research trends.
