ProfPaul Kirkham

I have taught and examined at both undergraduate (BSc) and postgraduate (MSc) levels as well as at external training courses. I have been the module leader for several undergraduate and Postgraduate courses within the department for Biomedical Sciences. In addition, I have been a supervisor and mentor of MSc, PhD & DBMS students since 2001.

Modules I have taught and assessed on include:
Level 4: Introduction to cardiac, respiratory and sleep science – HCS (Respiratory anatomy & medical physics)
Level 4: Human health & disease (metabolic & chronic inflammatory diseases)
Level 4: Disease biology and public health (intro to medical physics)
Level 5: Clinical instrumentation for HCS (Medical physics & imaging) --- (module leader)
Level 5: Biology and investigation of disease (Hypersensitivity & autoimmunity)
Level 5: Molecular pathology (mechanisms of corticosteroid insensitivity in respiratory disease)
Level 5: Pathophysiology (oxidative stress & respiratory disease)
Level 5: Research methods & professional practice
Level 5: Biomedical science practicals 2 --- (module leader)
Level 6: Clinical biochemistry & immunology (Biochemical disorders, hypersensitivity & immunosupprresion)
Level 6: Advanced human physiology (mitochondrial dysfunction & disease)
Level 6: Current perspectives in physiology (H2S in health & disease)
Level 6: Recent developments in respiratory & sleep physiology - HCS (lung development, disease & comorbidities)
Level 7: Clinical Biochemistry (Case studies)
Level 7: Clinical Immunology (Inflammation, Hypersensitivity and Immunosuppressive drugs)
