MSc(Res)Experimental Medicine
The MSc in Experimental Medicine offers advanced research training in a broad range of laboratory based biomedical sciences. Experimental medicine aims to identify mechanisms of pathophysiology of disease, and demonstrate proof-of-concept evidence of the efficacy and importance of new discoveries or treatments. It spans fundamental research in the biosciences to the application of new strategies towards clinical translation that will improve delivery of healthcare.
There is an increasing need for graduates who can undertake basic and clinical research, and translate it into improved medical treatments for patients. Students can choose from specialist modules in ‘Infection, Inflammation and Immunology’ or ‘Diabetes and Cardiovascular Medicine’.
This is a research intensive MSc programme in Experimental Medicine equipping students with the rigorous research skills, and the innovative mentality to tackle major medical and therapeutic challenges of the 21st century.
