Master of Philosophy in Molecular Mechanisms of Human Disease at University of Cambridge

Biomedical science is currently undergoing a revolution, as the application of whole-genome sequencing technologies fundamentally change the way in which we understand the causes of both common and rare human disease. However, while sequencing is changing the speed and depth with which disease is diagnosed, it alone frequently does not lead directly to patient benefit. To develop new drugs and treatments, scientists need to develop sophisticated cellular models and understand pathological changes occurring within cells at molecular resolution.
