The programme will provide a thorough exposure to practical biophysics research in the environment of leading laboratories within a centre which has been at the forefront of biophysics research since its inception 60 years ago. Early successes were the elucidation of the structure of DNA and the development of the sliding filament model of muscle. Recent breakthroughs have been in the areas of muscle and immunoglobulin function, molecular-tweezers development, cell motility, DNA recognition, and the development of new techniques in cellular microscopy. The research component of this MRes will be complemented by a series of in-depth modules in molecular biophysics and molecular biology. Students have also the exciting option of carrying out their research project at the National University of Singapore (NUS), with which we have partnered to move forward outstanding science.

PhD studies, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry, cancer research, medicine, scientific administration within research councils and scientific publishing.
