Synopsis A full-time honours year providing students with a greater understanding the structure-functional relationships of tissues and cells, in association with a deeper knowledge of a specific avenue of research selected from the range of research interests within the Department of Anatomy. These include reproductive biology and development in man and other mammals, the biology of cancer and premalignant states in man and animals, neurobiology (including developmental and molecular aspects), gastrointestinal biology, connective tissue function, cell biology of epithelial tissues, DNA fingerprinting and molecular haematology. Other topics may be available by discussion with staff. ANT4000 is also designed to prepare selected students for graduate research work within the Department of Anatomy leading to MSc or PhD degrees. The program consists of a research project supervised by a staff member, presentation of two seminars, critical review and presentation of research papers and preparation and defence of a written report (minor thesis) of the outcomes of the research project.
