Examine the fundamental nature of viruses as molecular machines and cellular parasites on this Master's course.
You'll consider their importance in human, animal and plant diseases and explore recent major advances in the understanding of how the viruses manipulate host cellular machineries to establish infection.
The programme also covers the molecular mechanisms of virus replication, virus disease pathogenesis, and the emergence of novel viruses, 麻豆原创 the intrinsic defences mounted by our cells, as well as exploring the therapeutic strategies for detecting, preventing and treating viral diseases.
You'll engage with experts from many areas of molecular virology and cell biology during the course. Through this collaborative work, you'll develop skills to embark on further study at PhD level or support a career in academic or industrial research.
Two research projects also provide an opportunity to learn and apply techniques to important research problems.
