Introduction
This unit provides students with ‘hands-on’ experience in research in an area of biomedical science. This research project-based unit provide an opportunity for students to work with a research group and provides opportunities to further develop their research skills, including experiment planning and design, conducting a research project and analysing data. Students will develop skills in scientific communication, presenting the results of their research project to their peers and writing a scientific paper.
