DIAGNOSING DIABETES

A great STEM investigation – testing and analysing patient samples.

Your students will step into the shoes of a pathologist to diagnose diabetes. Diabetes is one of the world’s fastest-growing chronic diseases and a research focus at the Perkins.

Students will use technology, including glucose meters and research protocols to determine glucose levels in patient samples. They will then conduct a biochemical test to determine the type of diabetes each patient has. This will enable the students to decide what treatment options are available for that patient.

Our Perkins researchers will guide students through the use of different techniques to record, graph, and analyse their patient samples as they design the best treatment plan for each patient.

This booklet contains information about bus parking, payment and pricing, cancellations, evacuation maps, and more.
