Soil, fungi and antibiotics: Explore Biomedical Sciences

Step into a world where science saves lives! Join this exciting masterclass with links to both Biology and Chemistry.

Ever wondered how scientists create life-saving antibiotics? In this interactive session, you’ll uncover the secrets behind developing new treatments and fighting antibiotic resistance. Dive into the mysterious world of fungi as pathogens, and learn how fungal infections are treated.

Then we roll up our sleeves for a hands-on workshop. Investigate sustainable ways to produce a key antifungal drug and explore how it works with or without the immune system.

But Biomedical Sciences isn’t just about experiments; it’s about innovation and ethics too. Discover how business decisions and ethical considerations influence patient care in the real world.

Finally, hear an inspiring personal journey into Biomedical Sciences and spark ideas for your own future in medicine or research.

This event is part of our Masterclasses series and is open to students in Years 10-12.
