Biomedical Science: Creating the next generation of human bio-scientists Trisha Jenkins Discipline Leader - Human Biosciences
Biomedical science is at the forefront of our understanding of how the body functions, and malfunctions, and how to deal with it.
Biomedical Science BP231 Allows the student to develop and challenge their interests and strengths Biochemistry Physiology Cell science Human anatomy Histology, Microbiology or Immunology Pharmacology Where do our students work? Postgraduate research degrees (Honours, Masters, PhD) Entry into postgraduate medicine and other healthcare programs Teaching (+ Dip. Education) Government health authorities Genetic testing
Laboratory Medicine BP147 Laboratory medical scientists investigate, diagnose and monitor the treatment of disease Clinical biochemistry Haematology Blood transfusion Molecular science Microbiology Histopathology & Cytopathology Professional practice placements Semester 2, third year and Semester 1, fourth year Where do our students work? Pathology services Medical laboratory Research laboratory Pharmaceutical Industry
Pharmaceutical Sciences BP311/BH121 The science and business of developing new medicines Combines knowledge about the human body, chemistry and the action of drugs Students learn how drugs are used to treat diseases along with drug discovery, clinical trials and regulation of medicines Professional placement Honours year Where do our students work? Pharmaceutical Industry Clinical Research organizations Universities Hospitals VIFM, RACS
Student characteristics Students should be interested in science: biology particularly human biology chemistry our body is full of chemicals diseases and treatments They may have a practical interest in hands-on lab work They want to help people - our degrees will lead students to a career where they can be actively involved in improving Australia s health
