The Biomedical Sciences Summer\nCamp 2019, organised by the University of Macau (UM) Faculty of Health Sciences\n(FHS), attracted a total of 60 high school students from 30 local secondary\nschools. With the theme of \u2018Biological Detectives\u2019, the camp allowed students\nto explore the world of biomedical research and learn about various biomedical\ntechnologies through case investigation.<\/p>

In the opening ceremony,\nChuxia Deng, dean of the FHS, and Renhe Xu, associate dean of the FHS, warmly\nwelcomed the participants. They encouraged the students to acquire new knowledge\nand foster their interests in biomedical sciences through the various\nactivities in the camp.

The summer camp included many\ndifferent activities, including lectures, experiments, and exchange activities,\nto increase students\u2019 interest in biomedical research. Under the supervision of\nfaculty members and students from the faculty, the participants attended\nthematic lectures and participated in different workshops related to\nbiochemistry, bioinformatics, cell and molecular biology, genetics, and\nmicrobiology, in which they had the opportunity to conduct experiments and\noperate state-of-the-art equipment. During the camp, the instructors taught the\nstudents how to observe experiments and analyse the results. The students had\nlots of fun particularly, in the workshop \u2018Pipettman Usage Accuracy\u2019. During\nthe camp, the students lived on campus in the residential colleges, which\nprovided them a chance to experience UM\u2019s campus life and learning environment.<\/p>

Participating students said\nthat they have acquired many different biomedical knowledge through interactive\nactivities in the camp. They also had the chance not only to operate advanced\nequipment, but also acquire new knowledge through experiments. Many of them\nexpressed hope to pursue a career in this field in the future. The camp was\nsponsored by the Macao Science and Technology Development Fund.<\/p>
