MRes Biomedical Research (Molecular Basis of Human Disease)

Imperial College London

Course overview:Build multidisciplinary skills in biomedical research on this Master's course, specialising in molecular mechanisms and structural biology. You'll explore fundamental disease mechanisms and the scientific methodology used to unravel these mechanisms. Broad training is provided in a range of biomedical research areas. These include structural molecular biology, biochemistry and biophysics, cell biology and clinical/pharmaceutical applications. You'll build transferable skills through a programme of grant writing, technical workshops and journal clubs. You'll also investigate disease pathways and potential therapeutic interventions on pressing human diseases. Two extensive research projects provide an opportunity to apply your expertise to areas of interest within this specialism.Is this stream for you?This stream is for students with a biochemical or biophysical background interested in pursuing further education in a medically relevant area, and those with a biomedical background interested in understanding fundamental mechanisms behind disease processes.This stream is delivered by the Department of Metabolism, Digestion and Reproduction in collaboration with the Department of Infectious Disease.
