Summary
Molecular medicine is transforming the way we understand and treat human diseases, from cancers to neurodegenerative disorders. Combining contemporary medical studies with biochemistry and molecular biology, this rapidly advancing area creates a bridge between the subjects and draws on other fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine.
This course examines how normal cellular processes are affected by disease. You gain an understanding of the core foundations of molecular medicine, studying the topics most relevant to the real world, and how this science may be used in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases.
You learn about and appraise the approaches that can be used to address global health problems, including cancer and genetic and infectious diseases. The foundations that support investigations of molecular disease mechanisms and the search for new diagnostic tools and treatments will be laid, as you explore topics including:
-
gene and protein technology
-
synthetic biology
-
bioinformatics
-
genomics
The course has a high proportion of practical work that provides valuable experience for your career. Our research-led teaching is continually evolving to address the latest challenges and breakthroughs in the field. Your research project immerses you in a research environment, allowing you to conduct your research alongside our expert academics and PhD students in shared labs.
