eMeet a Biomedical Scientist

  • -
  • - (AEST)

From the lab to the classroom!

As part of National Science Week, the School of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Melbourne is connecting high school students with our biomedical scientists.

At the heart of multi-disciplinary healthcare teams our Biomedical Scientists are world-renowned. Their research drives the discovery of new medications, vaccines and treatments for many life-threatening diseases. 

In these 20-to-30-minute Zoom meetings, our experts will help to inspire the next generation of biomedical scientists.

This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for students to engage with passionate researchers. Discover how biomedical knowledge from the classroom translates to real-world applications. 

Students in Years 9–12 from across metropolitan, regional and rural schools in Victoria are invited to ask questions such as: 

  • What it's like to make a major scientific discovery?
  • What career pathways are available for budding young Biomedical Scientists?
  • How does it feel to change the course of a person's health and life?
  • How do biomedical career pathways take shape?

Prior to National Science Week, the School of Biomedical Sciences will schools to "match-make" a Biomedical expert with each participating classes. Meetings will be via Zoom, and will ideally take place during National Science Week itself from 12 to 16 August.
