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:
1.
Critically analyse scientific papers in the area of molecular bioscience, and identify potential pitfalls in experimental design and data interpretation
2.
Develop solutions to research problems, via designing experiments utilising molecular bioscience techniques such as genomics and proteomics which include the appropriate use of controls and statistics
