Course summary
About this course
Biomedical scientists work at the cutting edge of research and medicine, helping to solve some of the most threatening diseases and conditions facing mankind. St Georges has enjoyed an outstanding track record of research output and innovation in molecular and clinical sciences research including cancer.
This MRes in Biomedical Science (Molecular Mechanisms of Cancer) focuses on research to examine the cellular and molecular processes underlying cancer such as DNA damage and gene mutations to help us better understand what causes cancer and how it can be manipulated.
This specialist pathway prepares you to conduct pioneering research into the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. You will study clinical and pathological aspects of cancer, and the molecular mechanisms that establish and promote cancer, as well as exploring some of the current treatments used and how research translates into novel treatments.
Careers
Originally established in 2007, our Biomedical Science Pathways have been growing in strength and reputation ever since, and provide excellent preparation for either a PhD and research within an academic or industrial setting, or a career in the biomedical and medical sector.
The course provides excellent preparation for PhD study, which around a fifth of our students complete here at St Georges or elsewhere, and this can lead to a research career within academia or pharmaceutical industry.
Alternatively, on completion, you could pursue a career in the biomedical and medical sector in roles where some research background is required but not necessarily at PhD level. This may include job opportunities as research support staff, technicians, medical laboratory assistants, specialist services provision, equipment operators and laboratory management.
This course is also effective in accelerating the development of your career in healthcare and NHS.
