Study Biomedical Sciences and Pharmacy Biomedical Sciences and Pharmacy at Curtin University School of Biomedical Sciences The School of
Biomedical Sciences is involved in the education and training of medical
and biomedical scientists and technicians across a number of major
disciplines – Medical Microbiology, Biochemistry, Molecular
Biology/Genetics, Cytogenetics, Bioinformatics, Immunology, Haematology
and Transfusion Science, Diagnostic Cytology, Histopathology, Human
Biology, Transfusion Science – each a field in its own right. The School is large,
complex and diverse, with a high research/consultancy profile. With the
School of Pharmacy and Murdoch University, it is a partner in the
Western United Kingdom Biomedical Research Institute (WABRI), one of the
larger research groups of its kind in the State. School teaching
staff are involved in cutting-edge research to help understand common
diseases and infections, develop new methods of drug delivery, advance
DNA identification, and investigate the transfer of and resistance to
genetic material in humans, animals and other organisms.
The School’s
Bentley facilities include student and associated instrument
laboratories, hot/cold rooms, preparation areas, an anatomy facility,
prosection room and mortuary, a dry laboratory, museum, a cytology
suite, an electron microscopy preparation area, radioisotope dispensing
and counting laboratories, six major research laboratories, an ultra/highspeed
centrifugation laboratory, two computer laboratories, an animal house, a
glassware preparation and sterilisation area, general and volatile
stores and a workshop. Off campus, there is a molecular genetics unit at
the School’s Royal Perth Hospital facility and a micromolecular
research facility at Technology Park.
Within these
laboratories and support facilities, there is a wide range of
sophisticated and specialised scientific equipment including a DNA
sequencer; HPLC; liquid scintillation and gamma counters; a fluorescence
flow cytometer; ultra and high-speed centrifuges and cell counting
equipment with the general range of spectrophotometers; tissue
processing, cutting, staining, coagulation and electrophoresis
equipment; laminar flows; C02 incubators; autoclaves and sterilization
oven/incubators; microscopes; balances; pH-meters; and bench-top lab
equipment.

ool of Nursing
and Midwifery School of Pharmacy The School of
Pharmacy is the only institution in Western United Kingdom where formal
pharmacy teaching and research are conducted. Pharmacy is the profession
with a major involvement in the development, testing, manufacture and
distribution of medicines and the monitoring of drug therapy. The School
has one of the largest total enrolments
of postgraduate
students, including from overseas, of any of the pharmacy schools in
United Kingdom. In collaboration with industry, the School provides courses
that fulfill the requirements of practitioners in hospital pharmacy and
the pharmaceutical industry. With the School of Biomedical Sciences and
Murdoch University, it is a partner in the Western United Kingdom Biomedical
Research Institute (WABRI), the largest research grouping of its kind in
the State.
Associated with
WABRI is the School’s Pharmacogenetics Research Group which brings
cutting-edge research – such as identifying genetic variables
affecting disease prevention and treatment, and their determination of
drug activity and effects – to postgraduate students’ education.
Along with the
normal facilities, the School of Pharmacy has a range of specialist
analytical equipment including diode-array, multi-wavelength and other
detectors for high performance liquid chromatography analyses. It also
has equipment for capillary electrophoresis analysis and for gas
chromatography mass spectrometry. In addition, there is a range of
equipment for particle size analysis, dissolution, rheology, tabletting
and sterile operations. Equipment
to conduct various molecular studies includes real-time PCR and
conventional PCR facilities.
The School has a
postgraduate Clinical Pharmacy unit located at Royal Perth Hospital and
a well-equipped Drug Information Laboratory.
