Molecular biology €“ the study of the basis of life - focuses on the structure and function of DNA, RNA, and protein and their interactions with each other. This knowledge has led us to understand molecules within viral, microbial, and eukaryotic organisms and has been at the forefront of scientific discovery since the identification of the structure of DNA by Franklin, Watson, and Crick in the 1950s. It is responsible for new and exciting techniques to detect and treat disease, produce drugs and vaccines, and uncover further the path of evolution. This masters course responds to the demand for highly skilled scientists who can identify defects in cellular systems at the nucleic acid level and conduct genetic modification of organisms which allows a greater understanding of cellular function. Such insights and innovations are already responsible for the development of new diagnostic tests, novel products, therapeutic agents, detection of biomarkers, identification of faulty genes, and subsequent correction of those defects.

Applicants should hold the equivalent of a 2:2 undergraduate degree in Bioscience or Biological Chemistry. We would expect to see the study of one or more of the following modules in the final year of an undergraduate degree: molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, microbiology, genetics, molecular immunology, or molecular virology.
