<p>The aim of this course is to give students an introduction to working in the research laboratory environment. This will be achieved by carrying out a short lab placement in a host research laboratory in either ZJE or ZJU. Students will be integrated into the research environment and encouraged to take part in all the research-related activities in the laboratory (this is not limited to working at the bench).

Infection 3 (IN3) aims to develop an understanding of the molecular and cellular basis of infectious diseases, the mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions, the role of infectious agents and the host in disease pathogenesis, the role of immune responses and therapeutics in controlling infection, and the epidemiology and evolution of pathogenic microbes. The course will be taught via weekly lectures and tutorial sessions, as well as laboratory practicals.

This course will give deeper understanding as to how inflammation can arise in response to processes including infection, tissue damage, and autoimmunity. You will evaluate the underlying inflammatory mechanisms in initiation, resolution and repair directed via immune responses in a variety of contexts.

<p>This is an "English for academic purpose" course. The major learning objective of this course is to teach students the English skills needed to achieve the learning objectives of their biomedical science/engineering courses at the ZJU-UoE/ZJU-UIUC Institutes, and the broader learning objectives of using English in university settings. Integrated Enligsh is specifically aimed at freshman students in the first semester of their undergraduate study.</p>

The overarching aim of Integrated Functions of Body Systems 2 (IFBS2) is to provide a sound understanding of physiology using different aspects of homeostasis to demonstrate how more than one body system is responsible for maintaining normal health. Rather than study each of the body systems in isolation, a body system will be introduced in the context of its role in the regulation and maintenance of an aspect of homeostasis. The reasoning for this approach is to demonstrate how the functions of different body systems are integrated.

In Integrative Biomedical Sciences 1 (IBMS1) you will develop a foundational core biological knowledge in the context of a biomedical background. The course will provide a broad introduction to all aspects of biomedical sciences. In Semester 1 you will critically explore foundational concepts in biology like cell theory, evolution, and the genetic basis of life. In Semester 2 you will explore key physiological systems (nervous, endocrine, gastrointestinal, immune, cardiovascular and pulmonary). Throughout the course you will develop your communication, laboratory and group-work skills.

In Integrative Biomedical Sciences 3 (IBMS3) you will develop strong foundations for working in a research environment. A major focus will be on developing critical skills such as the ability of properly design and critically interpreting experiments that will be absolutely necessary for you to become a biomedical scientist. After taking this course you will be able to: 1. Discuss and summarise topics related to modern problems in biomedical sciences, including physiology, pharmacology, cellular and molecular biology.
