Course Summary

Explore the molecular genetic basis of disease, from both human and pathogen perspectives.You will study key topics from the basis of genetic and infectious diseases, to diagnostic technologies in healthcare, bioinformatics and statistics. Not only that, but you will also gain advanced study in the theoretical and practical aspects from academics at the forefront of research.Working with the university’s research strategy, you will develop research skills essential to your career. You will be trained to carry out critical evaluation of published scientific papers and develop the ability to report and interpret results.This course is suitable for graduates in life sciences, biomedical sciences, and allied subjects, as well as those already employed in science, laboratory, or medical fields.

Modules

Study modern ideas surrounding tumourigenesis and tumour progression. The first part of the course covers our current understanding of the molecular basis of tumour progression. Following lectures will focus both on research into the fundamentals of cancer biology and the biochemical basis for the treatment of patients with cancer.
