MSc (Res) in Medicine - Cellular Medicine

The cellular medicine division combines basic and clinical research with the goal of understanding the cellular and molecular basis of disease. Our interdisciplinary research uses cutting edge technology to address fundamental biomedical processes involved in health and disease. Current strengths within the cellular medicine division include both cell biological and physiological themes to reveal mechanisms of disease. Crucial to this is the use of multiple approaches including human genetics, digital pathology, cellular biology and biophysics. The cellular medicine division has strong links both within the University via the interdisciplinary research hub, BSRC and with NHS Fife, NHS Lothian and the wider health service nationally. This provides a unique partnership between basic and clinical research, aimed at understanding the cellular basis of health and disease.

Applicants should hold, or expect to achieve, a 2:1 honours degree (or equivalent) in Biology, Biochemistry, Neuroscience or a related discipline.
