Immunology, microbiology, bioinformatics, gene therapy, and medical research were some of the many career options students explored at the Garvan Institute’s annual STEM Tour.
12 Biology students spent the day moving through different labs observing research, meeting scientists, and learning about technologies being developed to inform the management of disease and treatment of disease, including personalised medicine.
The day provided a plethora of opportunities for the students to network and interact with a variety of scientists, enabling them to gain a greater understanding of medical research and the tertiary education, and career pathways which can lead them to work at a place just like the Garvan.
