Doctoral study in Molecular Medicine
Why study with us?
Research in Molecular Medicine in the School of Medical Sciences is focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms of disease. This requires an integrative approach to the cellular and sub-microscopic aspects of disease using a range of biochemical, proteomic and genomic techniques.
Our research is often performed in collaboration with other departments and schools in the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences or the Faculty of Science.
