Get a head start in molecular biology research.

 

Enhance your technical and research skills in core areas of molecular biology, protein technology and bioinformatics through a 2- or 3-semester laboratory immersion.

 

Undertake research within university laboratories; in an industry setting with co-supervision by one of our academics; or as a placement under an industry-based supervisor. This could be in a company, government department or other suitable organisation.

 

Master the latest techniques in molecular biology, like:

• protein engineering
• artificial evolution
• enzymology
• high-throughput screening
• bioinformatics
• ancestral sequence reconstruction
• fundamental methods of molecular cloning
• protein purification and LC-MS analysis of small molecules.

 

Learn how to formulate a hypothesis, design and execute experiments, and become familiar with Australian safety standards.

 

Hone your scientific communication skills when you present your findings in a scientific manuscript suitable for publication in a relevant scientific journal, and for peer review to your lab group members.
