The MRes in Biochemical Research is based within the Division of Cell and Molecular Biology. The course provides a highly specialised biochemical education and practical training to enable you to carry out modern biochemical research in industry or academia.
It will be of great benefit to graduates in biochemistry, chemistry, biology and related disciplines. The course is full-time for 12 months beginning at the start of October. Graduates with at least an upper second class Honours degree and a commitment to a career in biochemical research are welcome to apply.
Students carry out three research projects, each of 16 or 17 weeks' duration in the research laboratories of the Faculty of Natural Sciences, and are also required to attend a programme of research seminars and tutorials covering generic research skills.
Seminars and practical demonstrations involving instruments and methodologies related to modern biochemical research include subjects such as mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, electrophoresis, DNA analysis and immunology, the use of computers for data analysis, information searching and retrieval, and molecular modelling. Workshops and seminars in transferable skills are organised by the Graduate School of Life Sciences and Medicine.
