This subject focusses on developing the laboratory skills required to practice science. Students will apply knowledge and skills developed in laboratory exercises to design an experimental approach to study proteins known to be involved in cancer pathogenesis. Laboratory exercises will be supported by a series of workshops to further develop critical analysis, quantitative, and problem solving skills where students will analyse and critique the data they have generated within their laboratory classes against that from published sources.
