Course summary
The ResM (Research only Masters) in Gene Regulation is one of the few research-only Masters programs in biological or medical research in the UK. Select from a range of exciting interdisciplinary research projects, supervised by world leading scientists, that integrate genomics, epigenetics, medical research, bioinformatics (including AI), model organism biology or method development. A central question of modern biological and medical research is how genes are regulated. In recent years, our ability to answer this question has dramatically increased, leading to new and exciting ways to research and understand the fundamental principles of life and treating diseases. In particular, the approaches that hold the most promise are those that combine different disciplines. The ResM in Gene Regulation is a new program that offers the unique opportunity to undertake a year of full-time research on a cutting-edge interdisciplinary project within the fields of biological and/or medical research. You will have the opportunity to work in world-leading labs on projects that integrate diverse fields such as genomics, epigenetics, clinical research, non-model organisms, computational biology (including AI), all with the goal of understanding how genomes are regulated in different contexts. Ultimately, the program will provide an excellent springboard for either a subsequent PhD, or employment in industry. Undertake a year of full-time research (no taught coursework)
