BIOM1051 - Introductory Cellular Physiology (Lecture)

BIOM1051 ('Introductory Cellular Physiology') is an integrated biology course offered by the School of Biomedical Sciences with additional input from the School of Chemistry & Molecular Bioscience for students in the undergraduate Pharmacy, Dentistry and Occupational Health & Safety Science programs. It presents a comprehensive overview of how structure and function are integrated at all levels from the cell to the organism with a focus on the human. It involves three (3) lectures in most weeks, compulsory weekly workshops in the UQ Centre, five (5) compulsory 3 hour practical laboratory sessions during the semester, and optional but highly recommended 1 hour PASS peer study sessions each week from Week 3.
