Molecular Medicine MSc - full and part-time
Course Aim
Molecular Medicine applies the methods of both molecular and cell biology to the study, diagnosis and prevention of disease. This MSc will aim to provide an advanced understanding of these fields, with the opportunity to gain 'hands-on' experience of methods that are critical to research in the post-genomic era.
To ensure that this course is as up to date as possible, the syllabus for the MSc in Molecular Medicine has been developed in close partnership with those in the relevant industries.
In addition to bringing together an understanding of human disease processes, experimental design and the methodologies required in this type of research, this course also provides the skills that are required for data analysis and evaluation. You will also find out how to go about exploiting a novel idea in biomedicine as a business venture, and how new ideas for therapeutics and diagnostics are evaluated before entering the healthcare market.
On successful completion of the course, among other skills, you will be able to:
- systematically understand human health issues, indicating how these may be studied in vitro
- formulate, develop and test a hypothesis relevant to a biomedical scenario
- demonstrate the ability to communicate science to a range of audiences
- apply techniques in the fields of molecular biology, immunology, cell biology and chemistry.
- utilise bioinformatics tools to facilitate research and development in genomics and proteomics
- recognise commercial opportunities in molecular medicine
- outline the processes required to translate research findings into clinical applications.
