Biology is the basis for understanding health and disease and developing effective treatments. It is therefore important that doctors have a solid foundation and knowledge about the disease and its process. This new textbook brings together these concepts to provide an accessible introduction to four key areas: biology, biotechnology, nonpathology, and infectious diseases. Main characteristics:

Provides biology students and clinicians with a solid foundation for understanding disease pathogenesis at the molecular and cellular level.
The causes and pathophysiology of major human diseases, including diabetes and malnutrition, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative diseases and cancer, are increasingly studied in clinical and health models.
Covers infectious diseases and disease pathophysiology and determines the impact of antibiotics.
Examines the application of biotechnology and genomics to human health in diagnosis and treatment, including understanding and monitoring disease.
Each chapter includes brief explanations of key and related concepts, and review questions help students assess their understanding of the chapter.
Digital resources are provided with the textbook, including discussion questions that students can participate in and slideshows of the book’s illustrations that teachers can use in their classes.
Enhanced throughout by beautiful illustrations, Biology for Health Sciences is essential for all students studying health and for students of biological sciences about organisms as part of a broader course.
