e-Meet a Biomedical Scientist 2026

  • -
  • - (AEST)

We want to celebrate National Science Week by connecting our University of Melbourne Biomedical Scientists with Victorian high school students. The opportunity to talk to our Biomedical Researchers is one of a kind, given they work at the centre of the southern hemisphere's largest biomedical precinct.

During 20 to 30-minute video calls, our experts – many of whom are global leaders in their research field – will help you to inspire the next generation of Biomedical Scientists.

Students in Years 10–12 from across metropolitan, regional and rural schools are invited to ask questions about:

  • What it's like to make a major scientific discovery?
  • How it feels to change the course of a person’s health – and life?
  • What career pathways are available for budding young Biomedical Scientists?
  • What are the latest technologies available in modern-day, cutting-edge science laboratories?
  • And much more...

The School of Biomedical Sciences will work with you to "match-make" our Biomedical experts with participating school classes in the week prior to National Science Week so that meetings can take place during Science Week itself: Monday 17th to Friday 21st August.

This is an incredible opportunity for our Biomedical experts to share their knowledge, and for schools to inspire and engage their students in a new way.

Schools: Register your interest using the link below. We look forward to your participation!
