  • The Future Role of Molecular and Cell Biology in Medical Practice in the Tropical Countries
    The future role of molecular and cell biology in medical practice in the tropical countries David Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, University of Oxford, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, UK Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/bmb/article/54/2/489/285007 by guest on 27 September 2021 Molecular and cell biology have a great deal to offer tropical medicine in the future. As well as helping to understand the population genetics and dynamics of both infectious and non-infectious diseases, they promise to provide a new generation of diagnostic and therapeutic agents, and to play a major role in the development of new vaccines and other approaches to the control of disease in tropical communities. Over the last 20 years there has been a gradual shift in the emphasis of basic biomedical research from the study of disease in patients and their organs to its definition at the level of molecules and cells. This new trend has been underpinned by a remarkable new technology which has made it possible to isolate and sequence genes, study their function and transfer them across the species barrier. In the short time during which this field has evolved, a great deal has been discovered about human pathology at the molecular level. Many monogenic diseases have been characterised, much has been learnt about the molecular and cell biology of cancer, and a start has been made in defining the different genes that comprise the complex interactions between nature and nurture that underlie many of the major killers of Western society. Enough is known already to suggest that this knowledge will have major implications for the development of more precise diagnostic and therapeutic agents in the future.

The University has a diverse student population with a percentage of local and regional students. We have a relatively small number of students from out-side of the UK and are therefore not over exposed to the withdrawal from the European union or changes in Home Office immigration regulations.
