• This programme aims to train students in cutting-edge laboratory research applying techniques in bionanotechnology, biophysics, computational biology, microscopy, molecular biology, structural biology and systems biology to a broad range of fields including cell biology, chromosome biology, drug discovery, epigenetics, host-pathogen interactions, membrane proteins, ion channels and transporters, and RNA biology.
  • The MSc by Research in Biochemistry is normally a two year course, though if you have an appropriate background in research, you may be able to complete it in one year.
  • Research at the Department of Biochemistry is divided into five main themes:
    • cell biology, development and genetics
    • chromosomal and RNA biology
    • infection and disease processes
    • microbiology and systems biology
    • structural biology and molecular biophysics
