Program Description

Through research-focused training, students develop their skills in planning and carrying out their own experiments, approaching scientific problems experimentally across molecular biology and biotechnology, and using revolutionary laboratory techniques, including CRISPR genome editing technology, Western analysis, and BLAST DNA sequence analysis, to solve these problems.

Through lectures and seminars delivered by visiting experts from leading universities across the globe, students will gain a unique perspective on the underpinning theory and latest research spanning the breadth of molecular biology.

Once students have mastered the latest molecular bioscience techniques, they will be ready to apply these skills to their Research Projects. Here, they will spend up to six months researching an area of molecular biology or biotechnology that matches their future career aspirations under the supervision of an expert in the field. Topics may include molecular biology, plant biotechnology, industrial biotechnology or metabolic engineering.
