Forensic Genetics and DNA-profiling: Basic genetics (classical, molecular and population) relevant to forensics - patterns of inheritance (nuclear and cytoplasmic), alleles and polymorphisms. Detection of polymorphisms, genes in populations. Genetic material and its isolation from diverse sources. The practical content includes some basic techniques of molecular biology related to DNA analysis and genotyping, including purification and gel electrophoresis of nucleic acids, hybridisation technology and the polymerase chain reaction. What information can be gleaned from genetic data? Lectures will give the scientific background to the techniques, an overview of the typing systems used (STR typing, mitochondrial sequencing and the developing SNP analysis), when certain systems are applied rather than other ones, the significance and interpretation of the results, DNA profiling databases, quality control and regulation. Laboratory sessions will give practical experience of the procedures from collection of samples to interpretation of results.Forensic Biology: The wide scope of this area includes the investigation of crimes against the person (such as murder, rape and other sexual offences, assault), endangered species and paternity.

Health, Education, Policing and Sciences |
Tumour biology will be studied under four broad headings, each one considering tumours on a larger scale. 1. Molecular and Cellular Tumour Biology: Here we will study genetic changes associated with carcinogenesis including the effects of chemical and physical carcinogens, oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes and their relationship to DNA repair mechanisms and cell cycle progression. Changes in cellular morphology and behaviour associated with carcinogenesis will also be studied.2. Tumour Growth and Treatment. Within this section we will study the changes in tissue architecture associated with the progression from normality to malignancy and metastasis. We will also consider, in the context of tumour development, the effectiveness and mechanisms of currently used approaches of tumour therapy including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. 3.Whole Body Effects of Tumours: This section will include study of the effects that tumours may have on parts of the body distant from their site of growth due to either their physical growth e.g. through blockage of the alimentary tract, or their metabolic effects e.g. through the secretion of ectopic hormones. This section will also include screening and diagnostic tests for cancer. 4.Tumour Epidemiology: Here we will consider the findings of large scale studies of the incidence tumours in populations. The balance between genetic, epigenetic and environmental influences will be evaluated together with an evaluation of the possible effectiveness of intervention strategies to reduce tumour incidence by changing behaviour and lifestyle. The second part of the module considers the discipline of regenerative medicine and stem cell biology. You will study stem cell biology in depth and their application to regenerative medicine. You will study the molecular and genetic control of cell fate specification and differentiation., including stem cell niches, adult, embryonic and cancer stem cells. Induced pluripotency and the use of stem cells in therapy. Consideration will be given to existing and potential clinical use of stem cells and their derivatives, and of the ethical issues that this raises. As this is a rapidly developing field, strong emphasis will be placed on understanding the current research in this area. |

Health, Education, Policing and Sciences |
Throughout policing and the criminal justice system fairness and justice are associated with legitimate action, which in turn has implications for the relationship between law enforcement agencies and various individuals groups and communities. In this module, students will examine concepts of legitimacy and procedural justice as well as the role of ethics and professional standards in policing and the wider criminal justice system. Students will evaluate the impact that the use of certain police powers and legislation can have upon public perceptions of the police. Case studies of both legitimate and illegitimate forms of policing will be discussed, along with their short and longer-term impacts upon police-public relationships. Students will also consider how our knowledge of fairness in policing may be implemented into police practice, and what the future may look like in relation to fairness in policing. |

Health, Education, Policing and Sciences |
In this module you will study how the immune response develops and resolves, focussing on the activation and functional diversity of T and B cell responses including T helper cell differentiation and regulatory T cell function. The cellular requirements, molecules and associated signalling pathways, required for each of these processes will be covered. Following on from this we will discuss how these processes can be modulated to aid in the control of disease.You will go on to understand the role of clinical immunology departments in the diagnosis and management of conditions affecting the immune system. The importance of basic and translational research, and how these fit into the remit of HCS, will be examined.The history, development and current diversity of immunotherapy treatments will be discussed. Their impact on patient outcomes, both actual and potential, will be considered. Biologics such as monoclonal antibody therapies, antibody-drug conjugates, CAR T cell therapy, vaccines, and cytokine therapy are examples of the immunotherapies that could be covered. Elements of design and development, clinical trials, funding and the relationship to personalised medicine will be covered. The influence of genomics on the development and impact of cancer immunotherapies will be considered.A patient first approach will be taken throughout the module considering the importance of being able to convey complex mechanisms, processes and therapies to a lay audience. |

Health, Education, Policing and Sciences |
An important role as an educational professional is about working with children, young people and adults as they become learners and encouraging them to continue to be motivated to learn. This module is all about the idea of what learning is and how and why we can learn some things easily, but other things are much harder. There are many theories about how we learn and whether learning is about knowledge or whether it is about being able to do things or a mixture. What do these theories tell us? Are they helpful for educational professionals? How might we make sense of them in the many learning spaces that educational professionals might use, and the different groups we encounter? This module will include thinking about our own learning experiences, exploring some theories and then creating some different ways of learning in practical and sharing ways. |
