Bachelor of Biomedicine. Completing a Genetics major will prepare you for a career or advanced study involving the application of fundamental genetics, genomics, evolutionary, population and ecological genetics to all areas of biology, biomedical sciences and biotechnology. You will develop knowledge and skills in the theory of genetics and molecular biology, population genetics and evolution and in experimental design, data recording and analysis and scientific writing, which are essential preparation for roles in universities, research institutes, government departments, hospitals and in the biotechnology industry.

Health Informatics (eHealth) is a transformational force in health around the world, and relies increasingly on new kinds of knowledge required by all of the health professions as well as on a specialised professional workforce. Students who complete the Health Informatics major will be able to integrate and apply the fundamentals of information and communication technology, information science, computer science and knowledge management to formulate and solve problems in healthcare, biomedical research and public health. There is no other major in the Bachelor of Biomedicine which covers these areas. The current major in Informatics from the Bachelor of Science does not cover this specific area related to health care or biomedical research informatics.

The Human Structure and Function major will provide you with a deep understanding of the relationship between the structure of the body (anatomy) and how the different parts of the body work together (physiology). This will be complemented by relevant studies in pathology, pharmacology and zoology, the studies of diseases, drugs and animal life.

The incidence of diseases associated with the immune system, such as allergies and autoimmune diseases is increasing and treatment and prevention of many infectious diseases is difficult due to the absence of effective vaccines. Immunology is a rapidly evolving science and new knowledge can be applied to the development and clinical use of new immune-based therapies for cancer and infectious diseases, prevention of transplantation responses as well as allergies and autoimmune diseases.

Life on earth began with, and continues to depend on, the activities of micro-organisms, most of which are beneficial. However, some micro-organisms can cause infections, with potentially disastrous outcomes. While the immune system has evolved to control harmful micro-organisms, it can, sometimes, inflict damage on its host. Infectious disease is still responsible for many deaths and much suffering worldwide. Never has there been a better time to learn about micro-organisms and their incredible ability to adapt, evolve and survive; and our immune system that controls infections and provides immunity against those micro-organisms that cause harm.

Neuroscience is one of the largest areas of study within the entire sphere of modern biology. It is also an area where Australian research has significant international impact. The Neuroscience major will help you understand the fundamental organisation and functional principles of the nervous system from the biology of nerve cells and neural circuits through to the neural systems and complex behaviours.

The Pathology major will help you understand disease from a molecular, cellular, tissue, functional, biochemical and immunological perspective. Knowledge will be integrated from a range of disciplines from Human Biology to Molecular Genetics. Employing the newest research techniques available, you will explore the various methods used in finding answers to some of these questions in the research laboratory, and begin to understand how these techniques are being deployed to solve disease-related problems.

Pharmacology contributes to major advances in the treatment of diabetes, heart attack, asthma, cancer, Parkinson’s disease and many other ailments affecting the human race. Breakthroughs are continually being made as a deeper understanding of how the body works has developed from the analysis of drug actions. In this major you will study the interaction between chemical agents and living matter, and learn about the action mechanisms of biologically active substances such as therapeutic agents and agricultural, household and industrial chemicals.

Discoveries in physiology have a broad impact upon health and medicine, environmental science, industry, nutrition, exercise, and reproductive biology. Many of the discoveries from the human genome rely on physiology to understand their impact on the human body. In this major you will discover how the body works, and how cells and organs function with the body as a whole. You will also develop an understanding of normal physiological function, which provides the basis for investigating disturbances of whole body systems, in particular those relating to the endocrine, cardiovascular, musculo-skeletal, developmental and nervous control systems.
