Unit Description

This unit will apply elements of biophysics to biological systems as applied to health and forensic science. Students will be introduced to a range of topics such as diagnostic tools used in medical and clinical imaging or tools allowing investigation of molecular interactions at the single particle level. BIOL520 is based on BIOP320 requiring a greater depth of understanding of the material.
Materials Textbook information will be displayed approximately 8 weeks prior to the commencement of the teaching period. Please note that textbook requirements may vary from one teaching period to the next.
Disclaimer Unit information may be subject to change prior to commencement of the teaching period.
Assessment Assessment information will be published prior to commencement of the teaching period.
Learning Outcomes (LO) Upon completion of this unit, students will be able to:
  1. demonstrate an understanding and discuss the various tools used in Clinical and Medical Research;
  2. demonstrate an understanding and apply selected methodologies used to investigate health and diseases;
  3. demonstrate an understanding of the theory underpinning the selected methodologies used in Clinical and Medical Research; and
