UNSW Cell Biology

Medicine

These pages support Cell Biology within the new UNSW Medicine course beginning 2004. Initially, linked content will cover specific Phase 1 Scenarios in relation to Cell Biology. Later content development will also support Phase 2 and 3 of the new Medical Curriculum.

Phase 1 Scenarios

The list below identifies the introduction (Foundations) and 4 main themes explored in Phase 1 of the new Medical course. Cell Biology content for each has been captured from the supporting Resource Learning Activities, including lectures and laboratories, as prepared mid-2003. Use the link at the end of each Theme below to go to the start page.
