MRes Biomedical Research (Bacterial Pathogenesis and Infection)

Imperial College London

Course overview:Develop skills towards a career in biomedical research before specialising in bacterial pathogenesis and infection on this Master's course. On this stream of the MRes in Biomedical Research, you'll build an appreciation of molecular approaches to understanding infection, immunity and antibiotic susceptibility at the host-pathogen interface. Your training will explore both theoretical and practical elements of biomedical sciences, with teaching delivered through lectures and technical workshops. Two research projects provide an opportunity to explore developments in bacterial pathogenesis and apply technologically-advanced approaches to biomedical research questions. Is this stream for you?This stream is designed for students who wish to pursue a career in bacterial pathogenesis and infection research, whether it be in academia, industry or government. To date, the vast majority of our graduates have gone on to study for a PhD.This stream specialises in bacterial infection biology and is based within the Centre for Molecular Bacteriology & Infection (CMBI), which was renamed as the Centre for Bacterial Resistance Biology (CBRB) in Sep 2022. Please visit the CBRB website to find out more about group leaders and their research. Several other groups with interest in these topics also offer projects on the BPI stream.This stream is delivered by the Department of Metabolism, Digestion and Reproduction in collaboration with the Department of Infectious Disease.
