Research topics of current interest in Biomedical Sciences
Students enrolled on the MSc Biomedical Sciences (Zhejiang) programme will select the topic of their laboratory research project during the initial 6-week taught component of the programme. This course consists of a series of research seminars given by Principal Investigators representing different Research Centres and Institutes in Edinburgh. Students will select their research project based on these seminars and through interactions with potential project supervisors and the Programme Director, during this course. At the end of the course in Week 6, students prepare and present a Poster on their chosen research project describing the aims of the project they are about to undertake, the relevance and importance of the proposed research, the experimental and data analysis techniques to be used and the potential challenges, and the anticipated outcomes.
