University of Bristol
Embedded within the internationally recognised School of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, this unique course offers a fascinating insight into this field as well as an opportunity to explore the scientific background to a possible area of specialisation in your future career.
The course comprises four units plus a research skills unit which includes a substantial research project. Students choose at least three of the following four lecture units:
- Developmental Genetics and Embryonal Cancers outlines how critical molecules, pathways and mechanisms regulate cell growth and development.
- Cancer Mechanisms and Therapeutics shows how cancers develop and which key genes and growth signalling pathways become defective and lead to the development of common adult cancers.
- Advanced Immunology is at the cutting edge of research; this in-depth unit explores the cellular and molecular events that drive immune responses.
- Immunopathology and Applied Immunology provides you with a comprehensive knowledge of diseases which develop because of inappropriate immune responses or deficiencies in the immune system.
An alternative fourth unit may be taken from a range of options.
The final research skills unit includes training in data handling and a substantial laboratory or literature-based project, which could see you publishing your work for the first time.
