![]() | Aims: To provide students with experience and skills in planning and undertaking an in-depth, full-time practical research project in drug discovery science. To provide students with experience and skills in analysing and interpreting findings and reporting the outcomes of such investigations. Learning Outcomes: After taking this unit, students should be able to: * demonstrate advanced experimental techniques appropriate to the chosen project, including independent use of sophisticated instrumentation appropriate to the research field * work with minimal supervision and guidance * work safely in a laboratory in a manner commensurate with current legislation * record experimental observations and data in an efficient manner * demonstrate the ability to conduct and develop an experimental programme. * critically analyse and evaluate experimental results in the context of other researchers' work * prepare an extended scientific report commensurate with a chosen journal style, with the potential for publication * discuss and defend the conclusions drawn from the study in an oral examination Skills: Research Methods (T, F, A),Numeracy (F, A), Problem solving (T, F, A), Scientific writing (F, A), Independent working (F) Content: A research topic will be selected in conjunction with a supervising member of staff and a program of experimental work planned. The content will be project specific, but will entail advanced experimental methodology in either medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, microbiology, or medicines design. |
