Course overview

Medical biotechnology is the application of advances in molecular and cell biology to medicine, human health and disease.

The Bachelor of Medical Biotechnology (Honours) encompasses the rapidly evolving fields of gene editing and CRISPR technologies, stem cell therapy, microbiome research, data science and Immunotherapy. By using cutting edge technologies, such as molecular modelling and design, biotechnology is shaping diverse aspects of medicine (e.g. cancer, vaccines, disease therapy and diagnostics, and medical devices), and many other fields (e.g. veterinary science, food production). This course will provide you with the tools and knowledge to work in any of these fields.

Honours includes a focused research project performed under the supervision of an experienced research academic and is built into the fourth year of this degree. During Honours you will acquire the theoretical and practical skills necessary for your future career, including written and oral communication skills, teamwork, time management, problem solving, critical thinking and data analysis.
