MSc in Molecular Medicine: The Experimental Medicine Pathway

The Experimental Medicine Pathway
The taught "pathways" programmes run from late January until mid-March. This is followed by a "Project Presentation" module and five-month Laboratory Project module. These two modules will be appropriate to your choice of pathway.
The Experimental Medicine pathway is intended for students who are interested in the process and the practicalities of investigating human diseases and designing therapies.
MED6024 "Laboratory Project/Experimental Medicine Pathway" (60 credit) introduces you to doing science; working on your own project, with supervision, in a research laboratory.
- MED6020 “Molecular and Cellular Basis of Diseases” (10 credit) illustrates with recent examples how you can now investigate important molecular changes that occur in disease states and investigate their significance in pathogenesis.
- MED6021 “Model Systems in Medical Research” (10 credit) teaches you by example how disease processes are modelled in appropriate systems.
- MED6022 “Novel Therapies” (10 credit) introduces you to how novel therapeutic strategies are translated from experimental models into marketable treatments.
- MED6023 “Project Presentation/Experimental Medicine Pathway” (10 credit) teaches you how to be involved in a scientific meeting, make a presentation and organise a description of your pathway-appropriate project.
- MED6024 “Laboratory Project/Experimental Medicine Pathway” (60 credit) introduces you to doing science; working on your own project, with supervision, in a research laboratory.
