Course Summary

This innovative masters degree offers a fascinating opportunity to study modern and topical research areas in Cell Biomedicine.

This postgraduate degree will provide you with advanced research training in medical aspects of cell biology and pathology through the completion of your own lab-based research project.

With a focus on research methods, you will take your skills to the next level in producing your own research design and developing your understanding of ethics in research projects and best practice in handling statistical datasets. The programme includes a variety of subject-specific lectures, seminars, tutorials and practical work that will keep you up to date with the current advances in the field. You will learn the theoretical and technological aspects of cellular biomedicine and their practical applications within industry.

How you'll learn

You will be taught by enthusiastic research-active experts in the field who conduct research in a diverse range of topics that you can choose to study such as cellular and molecular mechanisms of cancer, microbial resistance to antibiotics, immune mechanisms of disease, stem cell research and molecular modelling in cell biology.

You will conduct your research project in our state-of-the-art laboratories equipped with microscopy analysers, autoradiography, flow cytometry, high sensitivity HPLC and LC-MS, and neural stem cell and tissue culture facilities.

How you'll be assessed

You’ll be set authentic assessment, meaning that your projects, tasks and exercises will replicate the working world of cellular biomedicine, ensuring that you are fully prepared for life after graduation.

Career options

This postgraduate programme provides both a solid academic basis and practical hands-on experience in cellular biomedical sciences. It will prepare you for careers in academia, clinical research, the health industry or within government organisations.

Modules

This module is compulsory for all students following the MRes Cell Biomedicine and MRes, MRes Nutrition and Metabolic Disorders, because it provides students with in depth practice of research project design, planning and execution. It accounts for two thirds of the total MRes programme credits. Carrying out first-hand original research with data collection provides a valuable opportunity for the students to apply and develop the knowledge gained in the rest of the programme, in particular the research methods module and the programme specific theory module Cells, Disease and Therapy or Obesity and Metabolism.
