Handbook

This subject is a project-based capstone providing students with (i) training and experience in skills and technologies that are at the cutting edge of contemporary biomedical research, and (ii) complementary guidance and training in the development of generic professional skills applicable to entering the workforce. This subject will involve a series of workshops and laboratory experiences using state of the art equipment at the University of Wollongong. Results from student projects will be submitted using electronic lab notebooks, scientific reports and electronic posters. The ongoing experimental work will be accompanied by regular tutorials on topics including Career Development Learning and ePortfolio development to evidence skill development to future employers and assessing risks and understanding ethical considerations with scientific work. A highlight of this subject is the links students will make with industry partners as you conduct authentic research projects and share outcomes. Entry to this subject will be limited to students enrolled in the Bachelor of Pre-Medicine Science & Health (Biomedical Research major), along with students enrolled in the Bachelor of Medical Biotechnology (Honours and Honours Deans Scholar) and the Bachelor of Science (Cell and Molecular Biology or Medical Biotechnology major) with or without Honours Deans Scholar.
