Master of Biomedical Science - Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

The University of Western Australia

Biomedical Science encompasses a range of biological, medical and health-related disciplines addressing global biomedical challenges such as obesity, cancer, neurological diseases and cardiovascular disease. Biomedical Science draws on the disciplines of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and neuroscience and the para-clinical disciplines of microbiology, pathology and pharmacology to understand and treat human disease.Biomedical science has direct relevance to everyone it has a defining influence on our quality of life, the pursuit of healthy living and our capacity to diagnose and treat disease.Biomedical Science encompasses a range of biological, medical and health-related disciplines, which address global biomedical challenges such as obesity, cancer, neurological diseases and cardiovascular disease. It draws on the disciplines of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and neuroscience to understand normal human biology (including our evolutionary history). It also uses the paraclinical disciplines of microbiology, pathology and pharmacology to understand and treat human disease.In this specialisation you will gain an advanced level of understanding of current biochemistry and molecular biology techniques and their application to emerging questions.
