Antibiotics save people’s lives...and make bacteria stronger and more likely to kill us.  What is the best practice to balance these conflicting issues? In this problem-based learning module, the students will be evaluating real-life medical situations in conjunction with actual staff at those institutions and offering action plans to be ‘implemented’ there.  In order to accomplish this, the science unit will be interlocking with social studies and a language arts unit that will have them identifying target audiences and sculpting a way to present their findings.  This unit has the potential to be a full problem-based unit as well as highly interdisciplinary--it’s connected to full units in social studies and language arts which stand alone but can be fully integrated if desired.

Rating
0.0 stars

Innovation in global health practice requires leaders who are trained to think and act like entrepreneurs. Whether at a hospital bedside or in a remote village, global healthcare leaders must understand both the business of running a social venture as well as how to plan for and provide access to life saving medicines and essential health services.
Each week, the course features a lecture and skills-based tutorial session led by industry, non-profit foundation, technology, and academic leaders to think outside the box in tackling and solving problems in innovation for global health practice through the rationale design of technology and service solutions. The lectures provide the foundation for faculty-mentored pilot project from MOH, students, or non-profit sponsors that may involve creation of a market or business plan, product development, or a research study design.

Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

This is a syllabus for the Leadership Masterclasses designed for the Honours Master Programme, University of Groningen (the Netherlands).

The main aim of the Masterclass is to challenge students to test their own ideas on the relationship between leadership and innovative thinking and dissidence. By the end of the Masterclass, students will be able to:

▪ Understand and explain the role of innovative thinking and dissidence in producing and progressing different fields of research;
▪ Analyse and assess the role of inter-cultural understanding in making leadership decisions;
▪ Value interdisciplinary approaches in tacking global challenges;
▪ Critically reflect on how to apply these insights to their own future professions.

The Masterclass has a concrete compass: the students study, by way of example, the work of Judge and Professor at the University of Groningen Bert Röling who introduced new ways to look at international law and created news fields of interdisciplinary research.

Exosomes as medicine: biomarkers, therapeutics, and vaccines
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Exosomes are small membrane-bound vesicles that facilitate cell-to-cell communication by transporting biomolecules like proteins, RNA, and lipids. Due to their ubiquity and cargo-carrying abilities, exosomes have many potential uses in clinical medicine. First, they can be found in many biofluids like blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, and milk. This means they’re easy to collect and could be used in diagnostic testing as biomarkers. Beyond that, exosomes can be used to deliver cargo to key cells, either using naturally occurring exosomes or fashioning them into drug delivery vehicles. There are even promising results for exosome-based vaccines, not only for infectious diseases but anti-tumor vaccines as well. While the field has developed rapidly in recent decades, there is much more work to do. Specifically, researchers still need to elucidate the mechanisms of exosome transfer within the body..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.
