The ultimate aim of biomedical sciences is to understand the functioning of the human body at the molecular, cellular, organ and system levels, in health and disease.Biomedical scientists integrate the knowledge they gain from research across a range of related disciplines and apply it to the analysis of disease mechanisms. The basic research carried out by biomedical scientists is fundamental for developments and innovation in:* disease diagnosis* disease treatment* disease preventionBiomedical scientists develop individual scientific, experimental and critical skills that can contribute to major improvements in human health and the treatment of illness.
