Quantum physics is a scientific discipline derived from quantum theory, focusing on the principles of quantum mechanics—the unique framework that explains the behavior of matter and energy at microscopic levels. Emerging quantum technologies and their applications in clinical sciences have shown that understanding quantum mechanics can offer valuable insights into complex biological processes such as cancer development, telomere shortening, and the neurological functioning of the human brain. Furthermore, applying quantum theory in medicine enables a deeper understanding of DNA alterations under mutagenic conditions and may enhance the early detection of diseases before symptoms appear. The integration of quantum physics and medicine creates opportunities to better understand disease mechanisms and improve future therapeutic strategies. Consequently, researchers in both fields have begun to recognize their strong interconnection and the potential for collaboration to advance medical science through innovative applications of quantum principles.
The course aims to: Introduce students to complex sentence structures, including types and functions of clauses and phrases, And to identify which of these are appropriate for academic writing .
Encourage students to speak and express themselves in clear and accurate English that is understandable to both native and non-native speakers .Motivate students to distinguish between vocabulary items and to comprehend spoken English more effectively.
Anatomy is the scientific study of the structure of living organisms, from the smallest cells to the largest organ systems. It examines the arrangement and location of an organism's parts, including both internal and external structures, at both visible (gross anatomy) and microscopic levels (microscopic anatomy). Anatomy can be broken down into a hierarchical organization of systems, organs, tissues, and cells, which are studied together with physiology, the study of how these structures function.
This course explores the physics governing the human body and medical technology. Theoretically, Students will study how light and optics enable vision and diagnostics; how bioelectricity powers the heart and brain, forming the basis for ECG and EEG. and also, analyze the role of pressure in blood flow and breathing, and how sound waves are used for both hearing and ultrasound imaging. The biomechanics of the skeleton is also covered.
Students will apply the following concepts hands-on. Labs include using a pulse oximeter to measure blood oxygen, analyzing ECG signals from the heart and EEG signals from the brain, and studying blood flow and pressure.
Students will gain direct experience with ultrasound machines, exploring image formation and resolution, and conduct hearing and lung function tests. This course directly connects physical principles to the function, diagnosis, and treatment of the human body.
Biochemistry is one of the fundamental subjects in the Department of Medical Physics – College of Science, aiming to introduce students to the biochemical concepts related to the functions of the human body and to understand the chemical reactions that occur within cells and organs, such as metabolism, proteins, enzymes, lipids, and carbohydrates.
This subject enables students to connect chemical and physical aspects in the medical field, helping them interpret the effects of radiation and physical factors on biological systems. It also serves as a scientific foundation for disease diagnosis, drug development, and understanding cellular changes, in addition to enhancing students’ skills in using modern laboratory techniques.
Studying biochemistry prepares students to work in medical laboratories, hospitals, research centers, and radiotherapy fields, as it provides a solid scientific background that bridges theoretical knowledge with practical application in serving human health.
