We’ll provide a thorough understanding of immune effector mechanisms and cancer biology. You’ll develop a range of personal skills through self-directed learning and our problem-based approach to teaching.You could make a valuable contribution to the ambitious work of cancer immunologists and play a key role in the activation of immune effector mechanisms for cancer therapy. Your skills and knowledge will be sought after in a range of careers in the immunotherapy industries. For example, Roche, Merck, Astra Zeneca and small to medium-sized enterprises. You could work in medical or pharmaceutical research and development, clinical trials, public health and epidemiology, academia research, medical writing and science journalism, education, or patent law.
