This will be deepened and strengthened by: the freedom to accelerate more quickly to higher-level units additional flexibility in subject choices research mentoring by leading scientists in your chosen field exclusive extra-curricular programs only available to those taking this course As a graduate, you'll have advanced research skills and a thorough command of your chosen field[s] of science. Add to this our world-class teaching and research, state-of-the-art facilities, and the prestige that comes with an advanced degree from one of Australia's leading science faculties, and you'll find doors opening in government research bodies, in research departments of large companies, and other leading organisations. The fast-moving discipline of developmental biology is one of the most exciting and fulfilling fields in modern biomedical science. Studying the process by which an adult organism develops from a single cell can lead to myriad crucial findings, such as discovering the causes for disease and birth defects. Monash is a renowned leader in human anatomical sciences, and is internationally recognised for its outstanding research in developmental biology. For decades, the University has led the world in research on fetal development, reproductive biology and in-vitro fertilisation (IVF). Start of expanded content The study of Developmental biology covers complex topics such as classical embryology, body structure and design, gene expression and molecular mechanisms of development, causes of birth defects, stem-cell biology, tissue engineering, regenerative biology and medicine. Cutting-edge laboratory work will provide optimum learning conditions under some of the world's leading researchers. A major in Developmental biology will equip you with a broad understanding of the key cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying normal and abnormal human and animal development. You will also acquire the practical and laboratory techniques that are integral to the study of developmental biology, incorporating cellular, molecular and imaging techniques. Developmental biology prepares graduates for a diverse range of careers. You might pursue a role as a biomedical research scientist, science educator, policy advisor, IVF scientist or forensic scientist, to name a few rewarding options.
