Module glossary
E
- Essential and Transferrable Research Skills
Students will develop research skills and appreciation of research integrity. The module will equip students with the necessary skills to develop research ideas, questions and hypotheses, and propose suitable methodologies to address these.
F
- Frontier Techniques in Biomedical Research
This is a series of masterclasses on biomedical technologies delivered by academics and industry partners. Each session will be led by an expert with direct experience of the topic (e.g genomics, gene editing, chemical genetics, nanotechnologies etc.) and will consist of lectures, seminars, tutorials, laboratory demonstrations and literature review.
M
- Mathematical Modelling of Biomedical Systems
This module provides a basic understanding of the mathematics of ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations (ODEs and PDEs), how to solve elementary problems analytically, and how to solve them numerically on the computer using MATLAB.
P
- Physical Biology of the Cell
This module explores the basic physical concepts underlying the behaviour of biomolecules, dynamic cell processes, cellular structure and signalling events, and equips students for a research career at the interface of biology and physics.
- Programming for Biomedical Data Analysis
This module provides the foundations in programming in R. Students will learn basic principles of programming through 'learning by doing' workshops and a series of mock exams with increasing complexity, from one-line statements to multi-loop programs.
