Biomedical science explores the processes of disease, from the molecular and cellular to the organ and organism level. You will be joining the Biomedical Research Group, which specialises in the molecular and cellular mechanisms underpinning the pathogenesis and aetiology of a range of human diseases, which also extend to interests in veterinary pathologies. Diseases we focus on include cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, inflammatory and immune diseases, and diseases of infection. We offer PhDs in specific subjects such as microbiology, immunology or molecular biology.

We will thoroughly equip you for your research programme and wider career. Training includes a one-week certified training programme in tissue culture, with additional technical instruction as required. Relevant courses will be introduced as required. Students are encouraged to attend departmental seminars, as well as participate in regular meetings of PhD students and post-docs. Your knowledge of current research will be enhanced, and your ability to present your work fostered.
