Focus Week 2: Medicine Now exhibition Welcome collection

The Upper part of the Exhibition space is a Medicine Man and Medicine Now. Medicine Now looks at current day medical issues including Malaria, obesity and genomes and the links this can have to major illness in future life with the humans body such as diabetes, and over health problems. One of the main interests was that of a cut through of a donor’s body which showed how the muscles, veins and bones are laid out with in the body and the variations of color of each, which really had a fascination about it in how the body is structured together so precisely. There was also an area showing obesity and Malaria, which compares an illness associated with developed nations and a disease associated with developing nations.
