Technological breakthroughs over the past decade have revolutionised genomics and all related fields of biosciences. Master's projects in genomics target a range of organisational levels in biology, from the molecular level to that of populations, via cells and organisms.
We now have the opportunity to address exciting, previously intractable, research questions. Candidates will gain knowledge about the collection, analysis and interpretation of large data sets using bioinformatics.
Projects in the field of genomics are often interdisciplinary, and relate to a wide range of biological disciplines, such as ecology, reproduction, development, physiology, evolutionary biology, toxicology, and ethology. A specialisation in genomics prepares candidates for careers in biotechnology, medicine, management, and academia.
