This course introduces you to the principles of experimental pathology applied to oral disease. It is provides a grounding in experimental method for dental graduates who plan to follow either a career in academic dentistry or one of the clinical specialities.
We offer you a fundamental training in the principles of laboratory research methods and the range of techniques used to study the behaviour of oral tissues in health and disease.
The course is aimed at dental or biomedical graduates wishing to extend their knowledge of oral pathology and especially those wishing to embark on a career in academic research either as full-time researchers or clinical academics. The course can act as a stepping stone to PhD studentships.
This programme will:
Equip you with transferable laboratory skills, in addition to those gained as part of the research project
Teach you how to write papers and present them to your peers, and for publication
Allow you to spend time as an integrated part of a specific research project/team. This is a completely hands on experience of a real research question
Introduce you to experimental design and research.
The application deadline is 2nd September 2019. Once we have received applications by the deadline the first selection process will begin. We reserve the right to receive further application after the deadline and make decisions on those applications in July/August subject to places being available.
Why study your MSc in Experimental Oral Pathology (Oral Sciences) at Queen Mary?.
The School of Medicine and Dentistry has an unrivalled tradition of excellence in research and teaching extending as far back as 1123 with the founding of St Bartholomew’s Hospital and dental libraries...

Course programme

Structure

MSc in Experimental Oral Pathology (Oral Sciences) is currently available to study full-time for one year.

Your programme will be modular, focused on acquiring laboratory skills and knowledge. The taught modules provide the basic understanding to help with the research component. There is a structured course of seminars with associated practical work, dealing with the structure and behaviour of cells and tissues in health and disease. This core begins with fundamental and general concepts of cell biology and continues with the application of these concepts to a consideration of oral and dental disease. Related disciplines such as oral microbiology and immunology are also covered.

Throughout the programme, emphasis is placed on the evidence upon which the concepts are based and the way in which such evidence is obtained by observation and experiment. You are actively encouraged to take part in the seminars.

Running in parallel with the core programme are several related series of seminars dealing with research methods, statistics and techniques of fundamental importance to experimental pathology such as tissue culture, molecular biological techniques, immunocytochemistry, light and electron microscopy. You will undertake a laboratory-based research project in the final module of the programme, exploring any aspect of oral disease.

Full-time

Undertaking a masters programme is a serious commitment, with weekly contact hours being in addition to numerous hours of independent learning and research needed to progress at the required level. When coursework or examination deadlines are approaching independent learning hours may need to increase significantly. Please contact the course convenor for precise information on the number of contact hours per week for this programme.

In addition to your studies, you have a chance to interact with external specialists, through an extensive seminar series held within the Institute of Dentistry, the Blizard Institute of Cell and Molecular Sciences and Queen Mary as a whole. You will attend the annual Stem Cell conference as well as an HIV symposium hosted by the Blizard Institute.

  • Molecular Organisation of the Eukaryotic Cell
  • Techniques in Cell and Molecular Biology
  • The Biology of Oral Tissues
  • Cellular Pathology
