A knowledge of anatomy provides the foundation for careers and research in medical, dental, and allied health professions. An understanding of the complex relationships between structure and function is fundamental for research in the areas of neuroanatomy, reproductive and developmental biology, cell biology, biological anthropology, and comparative anatomy. Current list of research projects in Anatomy Coursework Human Anatomy for Graduate Certificate PATHOLOGYhttp://health.adelaide.edu.au/pathology/ Pathology is the scientific study of disease. Without a clear understanding of the causes and mechanisms of disease there cannot be any effective treatment or prevention. It is the aim of pathology to provide us with this understanding. Together with a large group of clinical and affiliate title holders at the Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science, the Hanson Institute, the Royal Adelaide Hospital, the Women's and Children's Hospital, and the Forensic Science Centre, Pathology in the School of Medical Sciences provides a vibrant and supportive environment in which to study and undertake research into the scientific basis of disease. Areas of research focus include neuroscience, bone pathology, extracellular matrix and forensics. Current list of research projects in Pathology http://health.adelaide.edu.au/pharmacology/ Pharmacology is the study of drugs and how they interact with our body. Drugs are chemicals that affect the functions of living systems. Drugs may be used to improve health and quality of life, as medicines to treat and prevent diseases or, as a research tool, to further explore body functions. Pharmacology is both an experimental and clinical science that deals with all types of drugs - medicinal and recreational, legal and illegal, synthetic and naturally occurring, therapeutically beneficial medicines and potentially toxic substances. It is an interdisciplinary field that bridges Physiology, Biochemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Neuroscience, Mathematics, Statistics and Medicine. Current list of research projects in Pharmacology PHYSIOLOGYAt the beginning of 2010 the Discipline of Physiology will be joining the School of Medical Sciences.
