The 3rd year Biochemistry curriculum is designed to include elective modules from Microbiology, Pharmacology, Physiology and Process Engineering. There are eight elective modules and the students must select two, as part of their 60 credits. A number of the 3rd year students find it difficult to decide which modules to select, so this year Dr Sinéad Kerins organised that some of the 4th year Biochemistry students provide information about the electives they completed to the 3rd year Biochemistry class. Seven of the 4th year Biochemistry students discussed the content, examination type, level of difficulty of the elective modules they undertook, as follows:
Niamh Devanny
MB3012 Transmission and Epidemiology of Infectious Disease
PT3005 Chemotherapy and Pharmacology of Inflammation
Elaine O’Brien
PT3001 Introduction to Pharmacology
PT3002 Introduction to Toxicology
Jennifer Corbishley
PE4010 BioPharmaceutical Engineering
T3001 Introduction to Pharmacology
Robert Cowman
PT3001 Introduction to Pharmacology
PL3005 Cell and Epithelial Physiology
Tara Green
PT3001 Introduction to Pharmacology
MB3001 Medical Microbiology
Kelvyn Harrington
MB3002 Virology
PT3002 Introduction to Toxicology
Christina Killian
PT3001 Introduction to Pharmacology
T3005 Chemotherapy and Pharmacology of Inflammation
Dr Sinéad Kerins would like to thank Christina, Elaine, Jennifer, Kelvyn, Niamh, Robert and Tara for participating in this event. The 3rd year Biochemistry students really found the information they provided very beneficial.
