Additional Information:
This is an optional module. Employability: The practicals in this module are based upon the work undertaken by scientists working in the biotechnology industry sector and those pursuing a research career in the life sciences. They will give the student the necessary skills and experience to meet the workplace needs of biotechnology industries. They have been developed in consultation with employers of biotechnology graduates who have confirmed that the practical sessions are suitable and applicable to the industrial and biomedical workplace. Inclusivity: A conscious effort will be made to elevate the contributions of scientists from underrepresented groups, incorporating their research papers into the lecture material, showing photographs of diverse researchers, exploiting the EDIpedia database and highlighting good practice.
