During the course, you’ll gain an understanding of the scientific basis of cancer and its treatments, and will learn the laboratory skills needed to evaluate the potential efficacy of new therapeutics. You’ll be encouraged to attend workshops, tutorials and seminars covering the range of specific skills and resources you’ll need during your research journey.

Our academics are internationally recognised researchers in the field of cancer research and have expertise in a variety of different research areas (such as immuno-oncology, epigenetics, genomics, chemoresistance, metastasis and cancer stem cells) and cancers (osteosarcoma, ovarian cancer, leukaemia, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer). You’ll have access to an exceptionally wide range of research projects in cancer biology and can pursue a specific research project in collaboration with experts in the field.
