澳大實驗室實習計劃助澳門青少年了解生物醫藥學研究
澳門大學健康科學學院持續舉辦“實驗室實習計劃”，今年有五名來自不同高校及中學的澳門青少年在該院不同研究團隊的帶領下，參與了精準腫瘤學、生物成像、結構生物學等多個領域的研究項目，深入接觸生物醫藥學研究。
參與“實驗室實習計劃”的澳門青少年能到澳大健康科學學院實驗室，在該院教授及研究人員的指導下，親自操作先進儀器設備並參與研究項目，從中提升對科學的興趣，為未來的學術與職業發展奠定基礎。
澳門聖公會中學學生葉唯靜表示，走進澳大健康科學學院實驗室就像踏入科學的前沿世界。在學院副教授代云路及博士生豐與朝的指導下，她學習了高精度移液器、分析天平、恆溫儲存系統等儀器的操作，並完成基礎實驗技術訓練。她認為學院的儀器設備先進，親眼目睹研究過程亦讓她對科學產生更濃厚的興趣。
英國皇家獸醫學院學生李思韻在學院教授羅茜及博士生胡玥的指導下，參與了探討肺癌對大鼠影響的研究項目，親自操作細胞培養、靜脈注射、正位肺癌異種移植手術等。她表示，導師的耐心指導與鼓勵讓她在短時間內快速掌握技巧並深受啟發，“這是前所未有的經歷，導師的精準操作與專業知識令我深受啟發。”

UM’s Laboratory Work Experience Programme deepens Macao youth’s understanding of biomedical research
The Faculty of Health Sciences (FHS) at the University of Macau (UM) continues to organise its Laboratory Work Experience Programme. This year, under the guidance of various research teams in FHS, five local young people from different higher education institutions and secondary schools participated in research projects in fields including precision oncology, bioimaging, and structural biology, gaining hands-on exposure to biomedical research.
Through mentorship from FHS professors and research team members, participants had the opportunity to operate advanced scientific instruments and take part in ongoing research projects in the faculty’s laboratories. These experiences helped nurture their interest in science and build a strong foundation for their future academic and career development.
Ip Wai Cheng, a secondary school student from Macau Anglican College, described her experience at FHS as stepping into the frontier of science. Under the supervision of FHS Associate Professor Dai Yunlu and doctoral student Feng Yuzhao, Ip learned to operate precision pipettes, analytical balances, and temperature-controlled storage systems, and completed basic experimental skills training. She highlighted the advanced equipment at FHS and said that the opportunity to witness the research process first-hand significantly enhanced her interest in science.
Another participant, Lei Si Wan, a student from the Royal Veterinary College, worked under the guidance of FHS Professor Luo Qian and doctoral student Hu Yue on a project investigating the effects of lung cancer in rats. Lei practiced techniques such as cell culturing, intravenous injection, and orthotopic lung xenograft surgery. She shared that her mentors’ patient guidance and encouragement helped her learn new skills quickly. She described the experience as eye-opening and said that she was deeply inspired by the mentors’ precision and professionalism.
