This course is intended for students who wish to pursue a supervised study involving a specific topic area covered by the program. The student will achieve mastery of this narrow topic area during this project. The intention of the project is that the work is at a level where the student could be a co-author on a paper submitted to a peer reviewed journal. The project can be team based, but each student must have a defined area of responsibility. The topic can be in the digital health technologies or biopharmaceutical stream in the Master of Biotechnology program.

As a supervised project, it is expected that the student supports data collection, data analysis, and paper writing, typically on a team. The project will culminate with a paper that is submitted to the instructor. In addition, there will be a final presentation to the program which must include at least one additional faculty member other than the supervisor for this project.
