Biomedical Science (Molecular Mechanisms of Cancer) MRes | Master's degree | Science | On Campus | 1 year | St George's University of London | United Kingdom

Biomedical scientists work at the cutting edge of research and medicine, helping to solve some of the most threatening diseases and conditions facing mankind. This specialist pathway focuses on research to examine DNA damage and gene mutations to help us better understand what causes cancer and how it develops. According to the NHS, one in two people will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime, so research is vital not only to improve future treatments, but also identify genetic, environmental, and behavioural risk factors which may prevent it.
