Course summary
The fields of anatomy and developmental biology are closely interlinked.
Knowledge of anatomy is important in many areas of biology and medicine, including developmental biology.
Similarly, developmental biology tells us much about how normal anatomy is formed and maintained.
Understanding the anatomy and development of tissues and organs is essential to the emerging area of tissue repair.
How will I learn?
We use a blend of learning and teaching approaches.
In-person teaching includes:
