Related Information

Molecular and Cellular Biology is the investigation at the molecular level of all aspects of cells and tissues from simple systems in bacteria to more complex systems in plants and mammals. It has been responsible for spectacular successes in the treatment of disease caused either by bacteria and viruses, or inborn genetic errors. Molecular and Cellular Biology is central to current investigations to understand the genetic basis of human disease and pathology, as well as to the development of improved crops.

The degree programmes will provide you with a broad base of knowledge regarding molecular biology at the molecular, cellular and organismal levels. Additionally, you will gain an in depth understanding of selected aspects of Biochemistry which will reflect the research expertise and strengths within the School, and you will be instructed in the many applications of this subject.
