Study Developmental Biology and learn how organisms are formed from a single cell.
Understanding human and animal development is fundamental to medicine and biomedicine. State-of-the-art therapeutic strategies in medicine are built on innovative discoveries from developmental biology, including stem cells, cell engineering, artificial organs, 3D printing and tissue regeneration.
Developmental biology is leading multi-disciplinary approaches to advance our understanding of health and disease. It consolidates knowledge from anatomy, physiology, genetics, molecular biology and pharmacology to provide students with an integrated understanding of human development.
