<p>This unit will introduce students to advanced methods and techniques that are used in contemporary biological, biomedical and chemical laboratories. The content of the multidisciplinary unit will be dynamic reflecting the learning needs of students enrolled in laboratory-focused programs (such as biomedical science and other analytical sciences) and relevant to industry and research. The methods covered in this unit have diverse applications, including research, disease diagnosis and management, environmental analysis, forensic analysis and industry; and can be used in all fields of biomedicine, biotechnology and analytical chemistry. A major focus of this unit is on the development of understanding of the use of bioanalytical techniques to achieve desired experimental outcomes, practical skills and the application of methods and techniques. This approach will lay the foundation for students to continue to understand and develop new methods and techniques in the future.</p>

<p>The unit content will be reviewed annually to ensure content:</p>

<li>Reflects the learning needs of students enrolled in biological, biomedical and chemical focussed courses.</li>
<li>Remains highly relevant to industry and research .</li>
<li>Lays the foundation, as much as practicable and predictable, for students to continue to understand new methods and techniques as they develop in the future.</li>
<li>As such, the unit content will be dynamic rather than static. Broadly, the topics covered in the unit are likely to cover:</li>
<li>The development of, implementation of, and theory behind contemporary bioanalytical methods and techniques, including biotechnology methods and chemical analysis.</li>
<li>Conduct laboratory work and data analyses consistent with the current applications of bioanalytical methods.</li>
<li>Generate, collate, evaluate, interpret and communicate experimental results.</li>
