Course Info Postgraduate research degree at the Institute of Biomedical and Bioscience Research (IBBR). — Institute for Biomedical and Biosciences Research at The Faculty of Medicine and Health Science (the University of — ) has developed a sufficient critical mass of researchers able to study diabetes and obesity from the gene through to whole-body physiology. They are internationally recognised experts in: - molecular genetics - biochemistry - pharmacology - nutrition and the physiology of metabolic diseases, particularly diabetes and obesity and neurodegenerative diseases. Our goal is to define new molecular targets that could be sites for novel pharmacology and to examine a potential therapeutic agent acting from the cell to the whole body. Undertaking a Masters by Research degree at the Institute for Biomedical and Biosciences Research can be for a range of reasons. To gain additional laboratory skills in: - Human and animal cell physiology, - Molecular genetics, - Biochemistry, - Pharmacology, - Nutrition, - And the physiology of metabolic diseases, particularly diabetes and obesity and neurodegenerative diseases. To gain important skills you’ll need to go on to study for a PhD: - Research papers interpretation and literature review - Data analysis, interpretation and discussion - Thesis writing training to defend your findings at your viva. - Also, opportunities to present your research data at national or international conferences, or to be published in peer scientific journal - Experience to work in a research environment with senior and junior researchers, post-docs, PhD and MSc students, and laboratory technicians, - Enhance your employment opportunities in academic and private research institutions, as well as in pharmaceutical industry You will be placed in one of our research labs to do a 12-month tailored research project. During this period, you will receive formal training in research-related skills. At the end of your research project, you are expected to write a thesis on your studies and to defend this in a viva examination. Our research programme brings together expertise from across many subject areas in the biomedical sciences to provide you with training in several key areas of current research interest. The programme focuses on experimental science and a research-informed dissertation. It will provide you with practical laboratory-based experience with access to specialist techniques in state-of-the-art facilities.
