Masters by Research in Cellular and Molecular Biology - From Genes to Biotechnology

This theme exploits the wealth of information encoded by genomes to advance our knowledge of cell physiology in both animal and plant systems and in a range of model organisms. Cutting-edge genetic, molecular and cellular tools are employed to address questions relating to cell signalling, reproductive development, programmed cell death, membrane transport, senescence and ageing, therapeutic delivery, epigenetics and the cellular responses to stress and environmental change. We use this combination of animal and plant research to make significant contributions to the field of biotechnology.
