This module aims to equip you with the conceptual, computational and practical skills required for the analysis and engineering of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms and their development. You’ll begin with development and unpick a key question in development of life: how are embryos organised? You’ll then move on to immunity, looking at the mechanisms and mathematics of the immune response, considering how do organisms recognise non-self. We’ll finish this module by covering pathogens and parasites and you’ll dissect how parasites have evolved to invade our bodies.
