Cancer Biology MRes

Our MRes Cancer Biology course brings together both basic and translational aspects of Cancer Biology to provide a comprehensive, in depth coverage of our current knowledge of the mechanisms underpinning cancer development and treatment.

The course combines a semester of lectures, tutorials, and discussion groups led by internationally renowned scientists and clinicians, followed by a 6-month laboratory-based research project.
Areas of particular interest at the University of Dundee include, but are not limited to: GI cancers, breast cancer, prostrate cancer, and ovarium cancer. In basic Cancer Biology, we are particularly strong in the areas of: DNA replication, chromosome biology, the cell cycle, cell signalling, pharmacogenomics, and targets for drug discovery.

Through the expert guidance of our dedicated Cancer Biology team, and the academic freedom of the research project, Dundee is the ideal place to begin making valued contributions to the growing field of cancer research.
