"High school students do not have the amazing experiences that these kids had," said Laura Dziubinski, Medical Residency and Biomedical Science teacher.

Project lead: Professor David J Timson, School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Science. Student: Will Yeates.

The three programmes available are an MSc in Biomedical Science, an MRes in Applied Biomedical Sciences Research and an MRes in Applied Clinical Research.

"A career in biomedical science is tremendously rewarding and I hope to see some of the pupils we met returning to our labs as qualified professionals in a few years."

Yesterday's event was organised by the health board and Robert Gordon University (RGU) as part of the third annual Biomedical Science Day.

BCUHB and Wrexham Glyndwr University have developed three postgraduate programmes, accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS), which focus on different aspects of biomedical science or clinical research: MSc Biomedical Science, MRes Applied Biomedical Sciences Research and MRes Applied Clinical Research.

They are joined by Artemio Salazar of the University of the Philippines (UP) Los Banos for agriculture; Rody Sy of UP Manila for biomedical science; Ricardo Balog of the University of Santo Tomas and Elmer Dadios of De La Salle University for engineering; Gay Jane Perez of UP Diliman for environmental sciences and geology; and Charissa Marcaida Ferrera of UP Diliman for life sciences.

Byline: Matthew Whelan, BSC (Hons) Biomedical Science

Staff at Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary celebrated Biomedical Science Day last Thursday, manning a stand in the hospital's main atrium.

In line with this, it defines biomedical engineering as a discipline that advances knowledge in engineering, biology and medicine and improves human health through cross-disciplinary activities that integrate the engineering sciences with the biomedical science and clinical practice.

In other words, at the current birth rate, for every new biology and biomedical science PhD who secures a tenure-track academic position there are at least another 5.3 who should consider pursuing other opportunities, making up an astounding 84 per cent of new PhD graduates.
