This MRes Advanced Biological Sciences lets you take your enthusiasm deeper with a research project carried out over a full calendar year supported by 4 modules that further develop your knowledge and skills.

The breadth of research in the Institute of Integrative Biology allows bespoke pathways across all of many research interests.  Research in the Institute spans the complete range of biological scales from genes and genetic regulation through proteins, post-translational modification and cellular function to whole organisms, populations and ecosystems.  We use state-of-the-art “omics” technologies to generate large data-sets both within and across these scales.  We also develop new mathematical and computational models to make sure we can fully exploit these data. 

Past graduates of the School of Life Sciences have continued their academic careers as research assistants or pursued further study leading to a PhD. Graduates have also developed careers in conservation or qualified to immediately go into industries.
