Welcome to The Biomedical Sciences Institute

The career of a Biomedical Scientist involves using the scientific method to solve problems in medicine and using these solutions to cure diseases. Some of these diseases are idiopatic and there is no known cure.
Some diseases are so rare or so deadly that a cure has never even been contemplated. The Biomedical Scientist is the only medical professional with the repertoir of skills and extensive knowledge to discover these cures and deliver them to the clinicians to save the lives of patients.
With a degree in Biophysics, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Neuroscience or Physiology you can access the vast array of careers in life sciences and start on your own personal journey to save lives and transform our knowledge of the human body. Or you may choose one of the licensed professions such as Clinical Laboratory Science or Pharmacy which play vital roles in patient care. The Biomedical Sciences Institute can provide the training and preparation you need to pass those licencing exams.

Pharmaceutical Industry
Stem Cells contain the genetic code in its prestine form. These cells can repair wounds or damaged organs or worn out aging bones and tissues or even regrow limbs. It is not difficult to imagine that the treatment of disease or reverse of the aging process will eventually require on the use of stem cells. It is the job of Biomedical Scientists to unlock the secrets of stem cells and apply those secrets in patient care.
Gene Therapy has similar potential to heal and cure as stem cells. The idea that some genetic diseases can be cured by repairing the DNA damage or correcting errors in the genetic code in not new. After decades of failure, Gene Therapy is finally producing promising results in the treatmant of Sickle Cell Anemia and the latest clinical trials have produced astounding results which for the first time look like a cure. This was all done by Biomedical Scientists over decades of dedicated research. And You can join this brilliant group of scientists with trainig in Basic, Pre-clinical and Clinical Biomedical Research by starting your training with a degree in Biomedical Sciences.
Pharmacology and Pharmaceuticals allow us to apply our understanding of the mechanisms and pathways in biological systems to design and manufacture biochemistry solutions to treat diseases. In addition, the mathematical methods and techniques in Biomedical Sciences have important applications in the pharmaceutical industry. For example, the statistical data analysis method of Principal Component Analysis and the NMR spectroscopy can be used in clinical and pre-clinical settings to determine the effectiveness of pharmaceuticals in therapy. A degree in Biomedical Sciences can be the first step to a rewarding and lucrative career in the pharmaceutical industry while building a legacy of compassionate care for patients who need our skills and expertise.

Disease Research
Clinical, Preclinical and Basic Research in Biomedical Sciences is inherently beneficial because it helps us to understand how our very own bodies work and how to live healthy lives and avoid diseases. However the passion to cure diseases is what drives Biomedical Scientists. Becoming the expert through mastery of the knowledge of a particular disease can be a life long rewarding challenge and pursuit.
Cancer is the most challenging disease to solve. Data science is the most recent tool being brough to bear on the problem to identify the common features in the vast array of cancers. The Biomedical Science approache to cancer research brings the most fundamental understanding of science to bear on the complex problem of cancer which is not accessible to other approaches. Our approche reveals that cancer is a genetic disease which is caused by DNA damage. With training in Biomedical Sciences you will be able to build on this understanding and eventually cure for cancers.
Heart Disease is the most prevalent disease in humans. It is the leading cause of death in most countries. Biomedical Scientists have determined the risk factors for heart disease and have designed interventional and non interventional therapies that save lives and restore heart health.
Brain Disease is the most intelectually demanding problem to solve. Disease like Altzheimer's, Dimentia and ALS, to name a few remain perplexing problems in brain health. In addition, spinal cord injury and concussive brain injury such as CTE that are cause in sports and combat environments remain to be understood and treated. Training in Biomedical Sciences will prepare you to find cures for brain diseases while enjoying a rewarding and challenging career in the medicine.
