MRes Computational Cell Biophysics

Creatively connect ideas across disciplines to answer the most important questions in biology and medicine. You’ll learn from and collaborate with biologists, physicists, chemists and computational scientists to address complex global challenges and pioneer vital new research. On your nine-month lab research project you’ll be co-supervised by both a biological and a computationalphysical scientist, attending and presenting at regular laboratory meetings for both of their research groups to increase your lab environment experience and build your network. Alongside a set of practical laboratory skills that would enable you to conduct research at the highest level, you’ll develop the critical thinking and communication skills of an independent researcher, writing grant applications and leading your own investigations. As a graduate of the Computational Cell Biophysics MRes, you’ll be ready to make your mark as a member of a scientific research community that’s increasingly focused on achieving research impact through multidisciplinary approaches. This MRes is ideal for graduates from a life sciences, mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science, or engineering background looking to become interdisciplinary science researchers, and make a significant contribution to our understanding of biological systems and processes.

A minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor's degree in a relevant subject from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.
