"Hello! My name is Josephine and I'm studying Master of Biomedical and Health Sciences. This semester, I have started a research project focusing on immune regeneration at the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute. I chose this program as it offers a comprehensive approach (theoretical and hands-on experiences) to develop skills in medical research.
