Applied Biomedical Science MSc

RNA vaccines, gene therapies, and GLP inhibitors are advancing medicine, but what drives the next innovation By studying with us, you’ll explore how to overcome challenges in clinical trials, integrate diverse expertise, and transform research into impactful diagnostic tools and therapies. Learn from leading experts and prepare to make a difference in academia, pharmaceuticals, or biotechnology. Benefits of this courseThis course will provide you with hands-on experience in cutting-edge biomedical research, with sessions led by scientists actively working in the field. It will cover key areas such as clinical trial management, bioinformatics, population health research, and personalised medicine.By the time you graduate, you will have developed in-demand skills in data analysis, computer programming, and hands-on lab techniques, including safe chemical handling, DNA analysis, protein studies, and tissue culture.A three-month research project, based in London or abroad through the Turing Scheme, will provide the opportunity to apply knowledge in real-world settings. Projects may explore conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome, brain cancer, and childhood asthma, using methods such as microscopy, genomics, and population health statistics.You will take part in journal club discussions on the latest research in the Hot Topics in Biomedical Science module and gain insight into real-world applications through Case Studies in Drug Discovery and Development module. There will also be opportunities to learn about clinical trials happening in London and to connect with academics conducting research worldwide, including in Africa.
