Course summary

The Department of Molecular and Cell Biology provides infrastructure and a supportive environment for more than 30 active and dynamic research groups, forming a coherent research community with established strengths in four areas of fundamental and translational scientific research.We are part of the College of Life Sciences. The Department is almost wholly accommodated within the Henry Wellcome Building and contiguous with the Institute for Structural and Chemical Biology, with a number of MCB principal investigators also being core members of the Institute.We host a vibrant teaching community, including a group of teaching-focused academics, which contributes to undergraduate and post-graduate taught degree courses, particularly within the School of Biological Sciences.We offer supervision in Molecular and Cell Biology in areas compatible with the research interests of our academic staff:BiochemistryCancer and Cell BiologyCell Physiology and PharmacologyCell Signalling and G Protein-coupled Receptor Molecular PharmacologyMechanisms and Principles of Gene ExpressionMolecular Physiology of the Cardiovascular SystemStructure, Dynamics, and Assembly of Macromolecular ComplexesStructure-based Drug Discovery and DesignStructure-function Relationships in Ion Channels and ReceptorsTo be awarded the degree of Master of Philosophy, the research student must satisfy the examiners by means of a thesis which demonstrates a satisfactory record of research, a broad knowledge and understanding of the field of study and associated research techniques, and shows that these have been successfully applied. The thesis must present evidence of a critical survey of knowledge in the discipline but does not need to make a distinct and original contribution to knowledge of their discipline or to be of publishable quality. For research students registered for the degree of MPhil and who will submit a practice-based thesis, both the critical/reflective component and the practice component of the thesis must form a coherent whole which meets the requirements for the award of the degree.
