Overview
In this topic students will apply their existing knowledge in molecular bioscience to develop strategies, hypothesis, and experimental approaches to solve research problems faced by those working in a molecular bioscience laboratory. This will be achieved by a combination of facilitated group discussion and independent research. Students will also be … For more content click the Read More button below.

Aims
This topic aims to:
- Enhance the students ability to develop a hypothesis and develop experimental approaches to solve problems encountered by molecular bioscience researchers
- Enhance students ability to critically analyse scientific literature, experimental design and data analysis
- Provide students with an understanding of the OH&S and other regulatory requirements that are associated with conducting molecular bioscience research
- Provide students with an understanding of the role molecular bioscience takes in the community and the associated ethical issues
- Further develop group work and presentation skills
Learning outcomes
On completion of this topic you will be expected to be able to:
