Doctor of Philosophy - PhD
Summary
Our PhD/MPhil Cell Biology programme enables you to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of Cell Biology.
Advances in cell biology are at the cutting edge of biological research. The Faculty has considerable breadth and expertise underpinned by state-of-the-art facilities in confocal, electron and light microscopy.
Research is focused on understanding the molecular basis of cell division, signal transduction, organelle biogenesis and protein targeting, differentiation, adhesion and secretion. These investigations are carried out using a diversity of model animal, plant and microbial systems such as Drosophila, Caenorhabditis elegans, Xenopus, Arabidopsis thaliana, E. coli and yeasts, along with mammals, parasites and crops.
Examples of research topics include:
- Cytoskeleton and control of the cell cycle;
- Molecular mechanisms of chromosome segregation;
- Mechanisms oftranscription and DNA repair;
- Animal and plant apoptosis;
- Tissue development;
- Protein targeting;
- Protein translation, translocation and secretion;
- Adhesion and the extracellular matrix;
- Cellular responses to stress:
- Vascular development in plants;
- Ultrastructure of eukaryotic microbes and fungi;
- Host immune responses.

MSc
Summary
Our MSc Cell Biology course will enable you to consider the most exciting current problems in the field under the guidance of leading experts in cell biology.
Rather than attending traditional lectures on your chosen subject, you will learn through an interactive approach involving seminars, workshops and small group tutorials preparing you for relevant aspects of a science-based career. As this is a research-focused master's course, you will also undertake your own research project in the laboratory of a leading researcher.
You will gain research experience and professional skills, perhaps in a different area to your first degree, before deciding on a future career in industry or academic research. This will allow you to make an informed choice about the research area you want to go into.
You choose the laboratory placement from a list provided by your programme director, which will cover a wide range of cutting-edge topics owed to the large number of cell biology researchers at Manchester. These projects aim to gain new understanding of cell biology in the quest for treatments for major diseases, including cancer. Our course will give you a unique opportunity to study the mechanisms that define and regulate the function of cells and organisms.
You will learn the concepts and techniques used in cutting-edge research in cell biology and how knowledge of the field can be applied to various fields of research.
**PhD with integrated master's**
If you're planning to undertake a PhD after your master's, our Integrated PhD programme will enable you to combine your postgraduate taught course with a related PhD project in biology, medicine or health.
