LSR 302: Research Methodology

The course aims to provide students with the basic concepts of research, types of research and the research method. The ultimate aim of this course is to equip students with skills on how to formulate a research hypothesis, review literature, design research projects, acquire & analyze data and report the research findings. The students will also be introduced to research writing and ethical issues associated with research.

LSR 421: Life Science Research Project I

The courses represent a two-semester-term individually guided investigation project involving laboratory work and/or computational investigation in some aspect of Biomedical Science. The background, results and conclusions of the study to be reported in the form of an oral presentation and progress report by the end of Fall semester, and a thesis and final defense at the end of the course.

LSR 422: Life Science Research Project II

The courses represent a two-semester-term individually guided investigation project involving laboratory work and/or computational investigation in some aspect of Biomedical Science. The background, results and conclusions of the study to be reported in the form of an oral presentation and progress report by the end of Fall semester, and a thesis and final defense at the end of the course.

LSR 423: Integrative Life Science Research Seminar

LSR 423 course is designed to train students to summarize results obtained during student research project courses, built up scientific hypotheses and discuss their merits in group seminars with assessment of the subsequent self-directed learning in oral presentations, coursework or undergraduate thesis writing and defence. This course develops transferable skills, associated with analysis and presentation of laboratory-based experimental research in Life Sciences in the form of poster and podium presentation.
