Biomedical Sciences

The aim of biomedical science is to understand the function of the human body. In both health and disease, it looks at the following levels:

• molecular

• cellular

• organ

• system

Biomedical scientists integrate the knowledge they gain from research across a range of related disciplines, and apply it to the analysis of disease mechanisms.

The basic research they carry out is fundamental for developments and innovation in disease:

• diagnosis

• treatment

• prevention

Biomedical scientists develop individual scientific, experimental and critical skills. These can contribute to major improvements in human health and the treatment of illness.
