Overview

Computational Cell Biophysics is a research-focused MRes programme at the interface of physics and biology, designed to train students to become interdisciplinary scientists.

University College London (UCL) students will be embedded in world-leading research labs, gaining conceptual and quantitative understandings of areas of physics, maths and computer science, and learning to apply these tools to address complex questions in cell biology.

What this course will give you

Interdisciplinary approaches are recognised as essential to address complex global challenges and drive forward scientific innovation.

The MRes Computational Cell Biophysics offers a unique approach at the interface between physics, maths, computer science and biology, to address key questions in the field.

Students will take part in lab-based research projects in world-leading research groups. They will be equipped with the tools to problem-solve using innovative cross-disciplinary approaches, including machine learning, coding, big data analysis and advanced imaging.

Students will also learn to communicate across disciplines and to develop broad and inclusive understandings of complex problems.

Networking

Networking opportunities exist throughout the programme with

the internationally-recognised senior investigators at UCL that teach on the MRes modules and act as hosts for the biophysics laboratory projects;

through interactions with alumni of the programme and UCL-based PhD students,

and through industrial collaborators.

Networking opportunities prepare graduates of the MRes for applications to PhD programmes, or for science-related jobs in academia and industry.
