The Department is responsible for the delivery of human anatomy teaching in the medical, physiotherapy, radiography, biomedical science and science degrees at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Human anatomy teaching is overseen by the Centre for Human Anatomy Education, which is located within the Department.
The Department introduced the first Bachelor of Science major in Australia in developmental biology providing a foundation in embryology, histology and anatomy, covering such topics as human development, mechanisms of development, birth defects, stem cells, and regenerative biology and medicine.
Research
Research in the Department is focused on the wider field of developmental biology. Researchers are focused on the molecular mechanisms responsible for development of specific organs, the consequences for adult health of suboptimal fetal development, the health consequences of premature birth, and the roles of stem cells in development as well as in regeneration of organs following disease.
