Master of Science in Biomedical and Molecular Sciences - Microbes, Immunity and Inflammation

The Department of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences (DBMS) at Queen’s University offers programs leading to the Master of Science (Anatomical Sciences), Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. In the latter two degree programs (M.Sc. and Ph.D) students would choose from one of the five fields of specialization which represent the research strength of the department. The Department provides you with the best conditions to develop into an independent, productive, research scientist and offers a dynamic learning environment. Research in this field focuses on fundamental questions at the cellular and molecular level involving viral and bacterial organisms and the immune system. Research areas include pathogenic and nonpathogenic organisms, inflammatory responses associated with infection, allergies, asthma, inflammatory bowel diseases, cancer and cardiovascular disease, and advances in therapeutic strategies including drug and vaccine development.

For the research based MSc/PhD program we recommend you make initial communication with a faculty member in your area of interest/expertise prior to beginning the application process to determine whether that faculty member will be accepting students for the upcoming academic cycle. Students considering graduate studies are encouraged to begin a dialogue with a potential supervisor early in the admission cycle.IELTS (International English Language Testing System) - score of 7 on the academic modulePearson Test of English Academic (PTE Academic) - 65 (minimum overall score)
