Human Tissue Repair MRes

UCL (University College London)

Specialise in human tissue repair on this globally innovative MRes. You will be taught by leading research scientists and clinicians within UCL's world-class research and teaching environment, and receive in-depth, specialised research training. The course acts as the ideal foundation year for a biomedical research career and will equip you to work at the highest levels of biomedical science. Human tissue repair after injury and in disease, and the development of effective treatments, is the focus of all biomedical research. This is the only programme in the world to offer an integrated multidisciplinary approach to learning about human tissue repair, regeneration and therapy at this level. You will be equipped with a detailed knowledge of the fundamentals of immunology, inflammation and the immune response in human health and disease, while also studying cellular and molecular mechanisms of human tissue repair, and the therapies designed to repair and restore tissue function. Treatments covered include immunotherapy, stem cell therapy, transplantation, tissue constructs and medical devices. You will also obtain the practical, analytical and transferable skills needed for conducting your own biomedical research. UCL offers a world-class research and teaching environment in biomedical sciences. You will be part of UCL's internationally renowned Divisions of Medicine and Surgery & Interventional Science and based at the new Institute of Immunity and Transplantation at the Royal Free Campus. The course offers the ideal stringboard for embarking on further academic study and working at the highest levels of biomedical sciences. This programme is for scientists or clinicians who are looking to gain a thorough knowledge of the mechanisms involved in human tissue repair, inflammation, immunotherapy, tissue engineering or transplantation sciences. It is particularly relevant for those interested in working on cutting-edge biomedical research, with an emphasis on developing your practical laboratory and transferable skills for further research or working in the pharmaceutical industry.
