MSc (by Dissertation) Cell and Molecular Biology

Research in our School of Life Sciences covers a wide spectrum of biology from genes to ecosystems, and this broad-based structure provides opportunities for developing novel ideas and interdisciplinary projects. We offer supervision in all areas of staff expertise in cell and molecular biology, including:

• cancer and stem cell biology
• immunology
• medical microbiology
• biochemistry
• structural biology
• chromatin structure
• epigenetics
• cell signalling

As a research student at Essex, you work at the heart of our internationally acknowledged, well-resourced and well-connected research community. We offer world-class supervision and training opportunities, and encourage you to engage with other researchers, professionals, practitioners, and research users, where possible - such as using the generous funding from Proficio to attend conferences and training courses.

We also offer a PhD in this area. Both part-time and full-time research study are available. You can start this degree in October, January or April.
