Biomedical Sciences

The Biomedical Sciences program aims to provide a thorough understanding of the critical role science has in human health and prosperity. Participants will become acquainted with core concepts behind modern life sciences, they will reflect on the technical and ethical challenges that the biomedical field faces today, and they will learn and use innovations that will shape the future of biomedicine.

Participants will attend lectures on a comprehensive range of biomedical-related topics and they will have the opportunity to obtain hands-on experience in various biomedical laboratory techniques. Students will conduct a variety of biological experiments—even a fetal pig anatomy course—where they will obtain new skills by handling real experimental samples. In chemistry, they will be performing various impressive experiments, like little magicians, creating their own soaps, cologne and drugs. Following the scientific investigation method, they will conduct experiments, they will analyze the experimental data and they will investigate hypotheses in order to draw meaningful conclusions. In our workshops, a variety of digital and technological tools will be used in order to give the opportunity to our students to experiment, create and bring their ideas to life while tackling different aspects related to Science. Furthermore, in an interactive course they will explore how the brain processes information, navigates conflicting stimuli, and perceives reality. Finally, our biomedical students will have an excursion to an academy where robotic surgery is taught, so they can participate in a program designed for hands – on practice, in order to acquire essential skills and competencies needed for healthcare professionals.

As part of the Pierce Leadership Academy, the Biomedical Sciences program embodies a holistic learning approach where the ultimate goal of the acquired knowledge and skills is to instill responsibility, awareness and a holistic science experience to our students. We only hope to inspire young minds and ignite their passion for the biomedical sciences by making education in cutting-edge technologies accessible to students. Hence we empower them to become worthy professionals and leaders.
