eMeet a Biomedical Scientist 2025

  • -
  • - (AEST)

As part of National Science Week, the School of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Melbourne is connecting high school students with our biomedical scientists.

At the heart of multi-disciplinary healthcare teams our Biomedical Scientists are world-renowned. Their research drives the discovery of new medications, vaccines and treatments for many life-threatening diseases. 

In these 20-to-30-minute Zoom meetings, our experts will help to inspire the next generation of biomedical scientists.

This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for students to engage with passionate researchers. Discover how biomedical knowledge from the classroom translates to real-world applications. 

Students in Years 9–12 from across metropolitan, regional and rural schools in Victoria are invited to ask questions such as: 

  • What it's like to make a major scientific discovery?
  • What career pathways are available for budding young Biomedical Scientists?
  • How does it feel to change the course of a person's health and life?
  • How do biomedical career pathways take shape?

Prior to National Science Week, the School of Biomedical Sciences will schools to "match-make" a Biomedical expert with each participating classes. Meetings will be via Zoom, and will ideally take place during National Science Week itself from 11th to 15th August.
