Master of Molecular Biology Research Extensive
Course Overview
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.
