Public health and biomedicine: Coronavirus “fighting the epidemic” - Study with Professors from University of Cambridge & University of Oxford
By the beginning of 2020, a smokeless battle has already begun. The battle against the epidemic is not only against the novel coronavirus but also against the widespread propaganda circulated by the media. Families are in lockdown as the death toll continues to increase. What is a coronavirus? What kind of infectious disease is this? How to protect yourself? The answers to these questions will be answered one by one in the project.
Under the guidance of professors from famous overseas universities, the program aims to help students build their knowledge of public health and biomedicine, especially coronavirus, and comprehensively improve their ability to solve practical problems, so as to lay a solid foundation for future studies and job applications.
In this project, students will learn about public health and general preventive medicine; the definition, types and causes of infectious diseases; the coronavirus outbreak; infection and immune response. At the end of the project, students will use these skills to solve real-world problems, submit their project reports, and demonstrate results.Suggested Future Research Fields:
