Overview

You will apply novel experimental techniques in the laboratory to work towards understanding the causes, and potentially find cures, for diseases.

This Applied Genomics MSc course from Imperial will be especially appealing to students with a background in biology, genetics, biochemistry, medicine and related areas, and for those who are interested in a career in modern biomedicine, whether going on to study a PhD in academia or straight to work in biomedical industry.

Study programme

During the first six months, you will acquire theoretical knowledge on how large scale data (for example, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics) can be generated and deployed to find interesting genes associated with a particular disease. You will also gain knowledge on the experimental tools (in vitro and in vivo) that you can use in the laboratory to test your hypotheses by attending lectures, workshops, journal clubs, demonstrations and practical laboratory sessions.

You will also select a biological or medical topic of your choice and prepare a report in the form of either a literature review or a PhD/grant proposal. This will equip you with a breadth of transferable skills that are essential to design a successful research programme and highly desirable in both academia and industry.

During the last six months of the programme, you will conduct a research project in one of our internationally recognized laboratories at Imperial. You will be able to choose from a wide range of projects, focused either on experimental research ('wet lab'), with a strong computational component, or blended.
