Module Content

Outline Syllabus:
The module will introduce biomedical research and introduce the principles and applications of the main laboratory-based techniques and methods commonly used in biomedical research (e.g. antibody-based techniques, high performance liquid chromatograph, mass spectrometry, flow cytometry, microscopy) as well as new technological advances in biomedical research. Genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic methods will be introduced. The module will also introduce research specific methods and techniques including; research planning, experimental design, measurement and instrumentation, data summarisation/presentation and statistical analysis.
Module Overview:
