Research
Guide
Your pathway to getting involved in medical research at JCU. Find topics you're passionate about, connect with supervisors, and start your research journey.
Find a Topic That YOU Are Fascinated By!
It is important that you are passionate about the topic – try to not get involved in a project you don't care about!
If you need help finding a topic or brainstorming, the best way is to contact researchers in your area who may point you in the right direction!
