Develop skills across disciplines to further your proficiency of experimental and computational research, and push forward research in cancer biology.<br/><br/>In this Cancer Innovation stream, you will focus on the development of novel, innovative approaches to biological and medical problems in cancer. Blended learning with demonstrations and workshops will train you in the translation of biotechnology platforms, from concept to realisation and onward to application in the clinical/commercial environment.<br/><br/>You will learn the skills to critically analyse current literature and performance data. Beyond this, you’ll be trained to communicate technological concepts to both scientific and commercial audiences, as well as to patients themselves.<br/><br/>This research-oriented course offers students the opportunity to conduct an innovative 10-month research project. These can be wet-lab/dry lab projects or original research and analysis.<br/><br/>You will be trained in the cellular and molecular basis of cancer biology, as well as receiving an introduction to the clinical and pathological aspects of carcinogenesis and treatment. <br/><br/>On completing this course, you will be ready to continue a career in groundbreaking research or pursue varied career paths where an advanced knowledge and understanding of cancer research is highly sought after.<br/><br/>MRes Cancer Biology streams<br/>This course is one of three MRes Cancer Biology streams available at Imperial. You may wish to consider other streams depending on your interests.<br/><br/><br/>- Cancer Biology focuses on wet lab skills, data analysis, and communicating science to expert and lay audiences.<br/><br/><br/>- Cancer Informatics focuses on computational and bioinformatics techniques, ethics, and communicating science to expert and lay audiences.<br/><br/><br/>- Cancer Innovation (this stream) focuses on the development and translation of bio- and deep-tech platforms from concept to realisation and onward to application and communication to scientific and commercial audiences.<br/>
