Description

This advanced studio subject introduces students to emerging area of biomedical engineering research. Students select one studio project from the following two research project streams i) Single Cell Sequencing in Cancer and ii) Lateral Flow Assay Stream. The first project focuses on how to use single-cell sequencing as a technology for cancer research. It involves learning key skills in bioinformatics analysis of existing datasets in cancer. In the second project, students learn about fabrication and have the opportunity to build their own rapid diagnostic lateral flow assay (LFA), which is the same technology as the COVID-19 rapid antigen test (RAT). Students develop comprehensive skills including nanoparticle technology, LFA fabrication, 3D printing, SolidWorks and MATLAB modelling.

At the completion of this subject, students have developed skills in project design, problem solving, and acquired various technical skills associated with emerging biomedical engineering areas.
