Description

1. Course Description:

 

This course equips Biomedical Laboratory Scientists with essential skills to design, execute, and report rigorous laboratory research. Participants will learn to formulate research questions, design experiments with proper controls, ensure reproducibility, and adhere to ethical guidelines. The course emphasizes quality control, data integrity, and capacity-building strategies tailored to African research contexts, with case studies highlighting real-world challenges and solutions.

 

2. Objectives:

By the end of this course, participants will:

 

• Articulate the importance of research in advancing biomedical sciences.
• Design experiments using sound research principles (variables, controls, calibration).
• Conduct literature reviews and formulate testable hypotheses.
• Implement quality control measures for reproducible data collection and analysis.
• Apply ethical frameworks (Declaration of Helsinki, GCP) and navigate IRB processes.
• Address African research challenges (resource limitations, training gaps) with pragmatic solutions.
