Units indexed by faculty Human pathologyCoordinators: Associate Professor John Hayman (Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology), Associate Professor Jennifer Rolland (Department of Immunology) The disciplineHuman pathology units are offered in both semesters at third-year level. Students will gain an understanding of basic pathologic processes with particular reference to cell death, inflammation, disorders of immunity and neoplasia. Particular diseases will also be discussed including ischaemic heart disease, cancer of the breast, lung, colon and skin, diabetes, renal failure and anaemia. Skills in microscopy, histology-staining techniques and diagnosis and problem-solving will provide students with valuable assets for future careers in applied or research pathology and biomedical sciences. The human pathology units are offered jointly by the departments of Pathology and Immunology, and Anatomy and Cell Biology. Units offeredLevel three
