Learning across disciplines using virtual microsopy: new approaches

We have been using virtual microscopy for learning and teaching microscopic morphology since 2003. Initially trialled in demonstrator-supported classes in histopathology, we now use virtual slides in a variety of cross-disciplinary learning and assessment activities across the Medicine program, requiring linkage between histology, histopathology and clinical manifestations. More recently, we ha...

An Introduction to Terminology and Methodology of Chemical Synergy—Perspectives from Across Disciplines

The idea of synergistic interactions between drugs and chemicals has been an important issue in the biomedical world for over a century. As complex diseases, especially cancer, are being treated with various drug cocktails, understanding the interactions among these drugs is increasingly vital to ensuring successful treatment regimens. However, the idea of synergy is not limited to only the bio...
