Master of Magnetic Resonance Technology at The University of Queensland Australia

The Master of Pathology initially focuses on a student designed and developed research project proposal. Students present their research findings to a forum of scientific peers or at scientific meetings. This course provides an opportunity for students who have completed a Graduate Diploma in a cognate field to design, conduct, analyse and write up a year long research project relevant to the School of Biomedical Sciences. Students develop their understanding of the process of research as well as demonstrating competence at each stage of the research process.

The Graduate Diploma in Medical Biotechnology is designed for two distinct groups of students, namely the professional scientists wishing to update their industry-related skills for career advancement and students considering a research degree. The course contains a compulsory core of professional subjects relevant to all science disciplines, such as project management, innovation, entrepreneurship and commercialisation. These core subjects provide a solid foundation to skills required and are important to a professional scientist; be they engaged in research, science businesses, industries or government organisations.

Develop your research skills and contribute to new developments in laboratory and clinical sciences. The School of Health and Biomedical Sciences conducts research in the area of ageing and chronic disease. Experienced researchers will supervise your work in the areas of: cognitive and sensory disorders diabetes, fatty liver disease and obesity: nutritional factors and drug discovery early-life determinants of chronic metabolic disorders musculoskeletal function and pain respiratory and sleep disorders. The research methodologies available to students include: use of laboratory disease models and evaluations biochemical assays, molecular biology techniques and signalling pathway investigations discovery of clinical biomarkers and new therapies for chronic disease. You will undertake clinical or experimental research in one of these fields with an individual supervisor overseeing your development and progress.
