Course structure
The course comprises an initial eight week taught component in which the cellular and molecular basis of cancer biology are covered plus an introduction to the clinical and pathological aspects of carcinogenesis. Students will receive the official course book 'The Molecular Biology of Cancer' edited by Stella Pelengaris and Michael Khan. Within this period will also be a series of workshops covering key transferable skills such as oral presentation of scientific data and grant writing.
This is followed by two separate 19-week research placements (Sample of recent research projects titles
