A training in Biomedicine, what’s it all about?- a short story from our current research;
Child A presents to doctor with repeated infections
Microbiologists determine the types of infections and the immune response of the patient, enabling the doctor to stabilise the patient; but what’s the cause?
Physiologists characterise the behaviour of the patient’s cells and define their unusual behaviour.
A relative has similar symptoms so geneticists screen their genomes for gene changes. A gene is indentified which may cause the problem.
Biochemists characterise the faulty protein and show how its structure is affected by the mutation. They discover the molecular basis of the disease which explains the findings
Pharmacologists will use the data to devise treatments
