This course is an extended research project, running from January until August. The project is carried out in the research group where the research is aligned with the research interests of the student. The student will use state-of-the-art medical sciences techniques to address a research question designed by the student and the research supervisor. Progress during the project will monitored by completion of monthly progress reports, and the project will be assessed by oral presentation and viva, and submission of a project write-up in the form of a research manuscript. The supervisor will also submit a supervisor report as part of the assessment of the student at the end of the project.
