This unique programme
offers opportunities to study at UCL,
Birkbeck College and MRC-NIMR. Students are exposed
to a wide range of training in protein structure, chemical biology and
the computational tools necessary to address important problems in
biomedicine.
Interdisciplinary
programme
It is difficult to
envisage modern research in molecular biology without strong
computational, structural, and chemical biology components. In the era
of ever expanding biological complexity, computational biology is
crucial in making sense of the data. Similarly, structural biology
provides essential insights into the molecular mechanisms presiding
over biological processes. In turn, the chemical information provided
by 3-dimensional structures can be exploited in the design of small
molecule reagents which are valuable cell and molecular biology tools.
The interplay between structural, computational, and chemical biology
has brought some of the major scientific advances in modern biomedical
research.
Study in the
heart of London
UCL and Birkbeck are
located in Bloomsbury, in the heart of London. This provides an
excellent opportunity to join in the professional and social life of
the capital. Further details about living in London and studying at UCL
and Birkbeck are
available.
Fully funded PhD studentships
We currently have PhD studentships available for entry in September 2012.
