This module provides a broad overview of various research methods, approaches and ethical considerations that could be used within the life sciences (with a specific focus on nanomedicine). This includes formulating answerable
questions, searching for evidence and critical appraisal, research design decision making, introduction to statistical analysis and research ethics.
