Bioengineering Workshop

Last week, four Year 10 students had the privilege of travelling to the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research to see what bioengineers are developing in the area of cancer treatment.

 

One student reported, "We learned how innovative imaging technology was able to assist in removing breast tumours, soon from real-life patients. We also got to do hands-on work in creating models to test on the imaging machines, see the stages of its development, and have a tour of a part of the research facility. Overall it was a thoroughly enriching experience which allowed all of us to get a better understanding of scientific applications in the world."
