BPHM4142 Molecular Pharmacology Year 3/4 (6 credits)This course examines the molecular basis of drug interaction with the cell and explores how cuttingedge biotechnology and biomedical research can advance pharmacological knowledge, henceimproving students’ understanding of how drugs work. The structure of the course is divided into 4main themes: (i) advanced knowledge on gene, protein and cells as drug targets; (ii) cutting-edgetechnologies in pharmacology and drug discovery; (iii) molecular pharmacology of receptors,channels and enzymes; (iv) signal transduction and modulation. A special topic will be selectedeach year to review updated drug development and news in a particular field.Prerequisite: Pass in BBMS2005 Basic PharmacologyAssessment: 30% assignment; 70% examination.BPHM4147 Toxicology and Drug Abuse Year 3/4 (6 credits)This course provides students with an understanding of the toxicological problems encountered inclinical practice, drug development and medical research. Introduction to the biotransformationand toxicity of drugs, carcinogenicity, drug addiction and withdrawal syndrome; physiological,pharmacological and sociological consequences of drug abuse; treatment regimens of drug abuse.Prerequisite: Pass in BBMS3014 Advanced PharmacologyAssessment: 30% continuous assessment; 70% examination.BBMS4002 Pharmaceutical Drug Development Year 4 (6 credits)This course is aimed to provide a broad overview of the process and the current trends ofpharmaceutical drug development, and the challenges in drug delivery including small molecules,biologics and therapeutic nucleic acids. Novel drug delivery systems, the process of clinical trials aswell as the development of nanomedicine will be discussed. The course prepares students forpossible future employment in the pharmaceutical industry.Prerequisite: Pass in BBMS2005 Basic PharmacologyAssessment: 30% continuous assessment; 70% examination.Elective CoursesBBMS3010 Emerging Infections Year 3/4 (6 credits)This course will introduce students to the comparative human/animal infections and diseases withemphasis on zoonotic viral infections. The course investigates the pathogenesis of microbes of recentconcern, focusing on the particularly innovative molecular processes these organisms use to ensuretheir success in surviving and multiplying in the human host. It also provides new insights into thephylogenetic relationships between microorganisms based on molecular systematics as well as intothe latest issues of pathogenesis, pandemic, prevention and eradication.Prerequisite: Pass in BBMS3005 Infection and Immunity or BBMS3001 Medical MicrobiologyAssessment: 30% continuous assessment; 70% examination.BBMS3011 Molecular Neuroscience Year 3/4 (6 credits)This course provides an interdisciplinary introduction to fundamental aspects of the structure andfunction of the nervous system. The topics to be covered include the properties of nerve and glialcells, the ionic and molecular basis of neural excitability, synaptic transmission and plasticity, signaltransduction, as well as neural network for brain functions, such as perception, motor control,cognition, dementia, and emotional disturbance.Prerequisite: Pass in BBMS3002 Molecular Biology of the CellAssessment: 30% continuous assessment; 70% examination.
BBMS3012 Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine Year 3/4 (6 credits)Numerous human diseases resulting from the loss or malfunction of highly specialized cell types arecurrently incurable due to lack of capacity to regenerate due to diseases, traumas or aging. Recentadvances in stem cell research have enabled clinicians and researchers to pursue for the first timerevolutionary treatment paradigms based on regenerating human cells. In this course, acomprehensive introduction of the biology of stem cells, tissue engineering, industrial and clinicalapplications, bioethics, historical and political developments will be given. Upon completion,students should have a global perspective of the emerging field of Stem Cell & RegenerativeMedicine that bounds to revolutionize how medicine will be practiced.Prerequisite: Pass in BBMS3002 Molecular Biology of the CellAssessment: 30% continuous assessment; 70% examination.BBMS3013 Clinical Trial Strategies Year 3/4 (6 credits)This course will discuss the history of clinical trials, as well as the history of research ethics inclinical trials. The main features of clinical trials will be highlighted including trial guidelines,research ethics practice; responsibility and liability; quality assurance, audits and Good ClinicalPractice (GCP); documentation and study monitoring. Clinical data management; and protocoldevelopment will also be featured.Prerequisite: Pass in BIOL2102 Biostatistics and BBMS2002 Evidence-based Practice and PublicHealthAssessment: 30% continuous assessment; 70% examination.BBMS3017Disease IIPhysiological Basis of Health andYear 3/4 (6 credits)This course examines the concepts related to the physiological function of the human body and thepathophysiological processes under disease conditions. The focus throughout the course will be onphysiology and pathophysiology of cellular and molecular functions, haematology, cardiovascular,gastrointestinal, respiratory, nervous, musculoskeletal, endocrine and reproductive systems. Thecourse serves as an advance level of understanding of physiological functions of the human body innormal and disease states.Prerequisite: Pass in BBMS2006 Physiological Basis of Health and Disease IAssessment: 60% continuous assessment; 40% examination.
