With this knowledge, we have the key to better diagnoses, specialised treatments and future cures. With personalised medicine, stem cells and the prospect of gene editing at the forefront of healthcare research, it has never been more exciting to be a biomedical scientist. This MSc combines cutting-edge theory with the practical, applied skills you'll need to become an effective researcher or industry specialist.
