Course summary
This MRes programme trains students in the fast-growing area of synthetic biology, a discipline that takes the knowledge and understanding we now have of the individual parts of biological systems and uses them in a defined way to design and build novel artificial biological systems.Synthetic biology allows us to support and augment the living world, recreating nature’s most ingenious elements and systems so we can design vaccines, monitor pollution, sustain our food production, and much more. This interdisciplinary research Master’s will provide both the broad biological knowledge and the specific tools you’ll need to thrive and progress in this rapidly advancing field of science and industry.
