Molecular Mechanistic Toxicology MRes

<strong>Our Molecular Mechanistic Toxicology MRes provides a research-orientated extension of molecular biology into the subject of molecular mechanistic toxicology. The School of Biosciences is internationally recognised as a major centre for toxicology, offering a research-led and highly interactive teaching environment.</strong><br/><br/>One of the most rapidly developing areas of toxicology. <br/><br/>This programme provides students with a research-orientated training in the application of molecular and cell biology to develop an understanding of chemical toxicity at the cellular and molecular level. You will study within a lively, highly interactive teaching and research environment.<br/><br/>One of the most rapidly developing areas of toxicology is the use of molecular, cell biology and omics to identify adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) and to develop a mechanistic understanding of chemical toxicity at the cellular and molecular level. This is not only of fundamental interest (i.e., understanding the mechanism of action) but it also relates to an increased need for a mechanistic component in chemical risk assessment and development of high throughput screens for chemical toxicity.<br/><br/>The MRes in Molecular Mechanistic Toxicology is a one-year full-time programme that provides students with a research-orientated training in a lively, highly interactive teaching and research environment.
