This course brings together the biggest recent advances in biology so you can understand human disease in detail, at the most fundamental level. It covers the cellular, molecular and genetic factors behind a wide range of illnesses, and how new technologies are revolutionising scientific discovery, diagnosis and treatment.<br><br>You will study diseases that are caused by a single gene defect, and the more complex molecular mechanisms that lead to cancer, as well as chronic diseases with overlapping causes that primarily affect ageing populations. You will also learn about the role of the immune system and, in the laboratory, you will examine models of the immune system in healthy and diseased states.<br><br>There is training on RNA and DNA sequencing, mass spectrometry techniques, and how these are used to process huge volumes of bioinformatic data to better understand disease. In computational laboratories, you will learn how to map genetic sequences, design PCR reactions that allow you to study your data in more detail, and identify genetic variations in a patient, for example. There is also an optional introduction to the programming language R, which can be used to analyse and present complex data sets.<br><br>Your career<br>This course is great preparation for a career in medical science research. Many of our graduates go on to complete a PhD and work at top universities and research institutes. Others work as researchers in the biotechnology or pharmaceutical industry.
