Description

This book provides an introduction to the basic principles of biomedical research, outlinging the organisational techniques and practical skills required to design, implement and complete a research project. The authors offer advice on interview techniques, how to assess a research department and the research programme it offers, and the expectations of the student, supervisor and co workers. The various stages of a research project are examined, with advice on ethical and safety considerations, searching the literature, experimental design, statistical analysis, and the use of computers. The technical skills required to deliver posters and papers to fellow scientists and to prepare appropriate slides and visual aids are presented, together with the skills required to prepare and review grant applications, articles and theses for publication. This book is intended for students of science and medicine about to begin, or carrying out, research. Postgraduates doing MSc, PhD or MD degrees.
