My teaching aims to provide students with a simplified explanation of the following topics as touching biochemistry and biology from beginner to intermediate level. This is achieved through a dynamic teaching strategy.

the molecular architecture of eukaryotic cells and organelles, including membrane structure and dynamics;
the principles of bioenergetics and enzyme catalysis;
the chemical nature of biological macromolecules, their three-dimensional construction, and the principles of molecular recognition;
dietary requirements of man and selected domestic animals;
the metabolism of dietary and endogenous carbohydrate, lipid, and protein;
the principles and major mechanisms of metabolic control and of molecular signalling by hormones;
the control of cell proliferation;
how the DNA in a genome is organized, replicated, and repaired;
how genetic information in the DNA is selectively expressed as functional proteins;
how genes are transmitted between generations, and how and when errors can arise;
how natural polymorphism and genetic variation can give rise to mutant genes, and how these genetic errors are inherited;
how inherited genetic errors can cause both single gene and multifactorial diseases and the consequences of this inheritance for individuals and populations;
the tools used in molecular genetics, and their potential applications to medical and veterinary science;
from their own laboratory practice, the experimental dimension of the molecular approach to biology;
the significance for clinical and veterinary practice of the molecular approach to medical science;
an awareness of the ethical aspects of molecular science
