Undergraduate Molecular Biology 2024-2025

• a course detailing for the first time how a cell really works; we reveal and explain how cell biology is governed by a cell's molecular biology and biochemistry; 
• a course placing a high value on its teaching and learning; all lecture material supported by non-assessed workshops – your chance to team-work, ask questions and enjoy the science; 
• contains an extended research practical; you carry out lab research to understand how cells responds to starvation stress, and write up in research paper format; 
• we teach how to access the scientific literature and write successful essays, preparing you for Honours year

This course covers four main areas of advanced research-led molecular biology:

• Genome Organisation and Analysis
• Proteins: Structure, Function and Engineering
• Control of Gene Expression
• Advanced Molecular Techniques

The course also teaches you about the scientific methods and discoveries that lie behind the above topics and covers detailed examples from the current scientific literature.
