The University was great and worked very well, though I am sorry due to some reasons I couldn't attended the course with locals.

Programme overview
Research within the Centre for Applied Anatomy (CAA) is internationally recognised and focuses on cancer biology, developmental biology and neuroendocrinology.
The CAA has excellent facilities, including the Vesalius Centre, which houses a state-of-the-art clinical anatomy suite with opportunities to use unfixed human tissue for both research and training purposes. This centre provides a wide range of opportunities for translational research (eg in the design and evaluation of medical implants or surgical procedures), strengthening links with the Schools of Clinical Sciences and Veterinary Sciences. The centre also has access to the Wolfson Bioimaging Facility.

Course programme
Cancer Biology Research studies the dynamic interaction of cancer cells with normal (non-cancerous) epithelial cells and fibroblasts. Cancer cells surround and attack normal epithelial cells, whereas fibroblasts restrict distribution and movement of cancer cells; the cause and consequence of these interactions are investigated.
Developmental Biology Research investigates the molecular mechanisms that underlie macrophage migration in vivo, with particular interest in how these immune cells prioritise competing cues (eg damage signals released from wounds) as well as the guidance cues that direct their developmental dispersal during embryogenesis and the presence of bacterial infection.
Neuroendocrinology Research is concentrated in two main areas, which include the neuroendocrine mechanisms underlying the control of fertility and the neurobiology of stress responses. A multi-animal model strategy is used in combination with hypothalamic and pituitary cell lines to study the topics from in-vivo systems to molecular level.
