Master of Science - Bioinformatics and Cancer Molecular Biology

专业介绍

Understanding cancer at the molecular and cellular level is essential for developing new treatments. In a modern scientific research environment, this requires mastery of both computational bioinformatics and experimental laboratory approaches. This MSc will train you in cutting-edge bioinformatics and molecular biology approaches, equipping you with the skills needed to drive advances in cancer research.

You will begin by spending three months learning bioinformatics skills by working in the Linux environment, on a course-supplied and configured laptop, learning programming in Python. You will also learn about cutting-edge approaches to genomics, transcriptomics and protein bioinformatics. Subsequently you will undertake four months of intensive taught lab work, tutorials and lectures that are focussed on the molecular and cellular aspects of cancer biology.

This will be followed by a three-month independent experimental research project, that can involve computational and laboratory analyses. Throughout the course you will learn how to mine large datasets, analyse research data, critically assess research papers, and communicate complex scientific ideas and processes.
