Program Description
This Middlesex University course has a strong practical element, with an emphasis on developing the skills needed in a laboratory and gaining hands-on experience of diagnostic techniques. Students will be able to study and learn within the University's specialist laboratories which include a modern, well-equipped cell culture facility and fully-equipped proteomics facilities. They'll also learn to use cutting-edge techniques and equipment for cellular and molecular analysis, such as MALDI-TOF mass spectrometers and flow cytometers, DNA sequencing, real-time PCR, electrophoresis and HPLC.
The Biomedical Science courses at Middlesex have a burgeoning international reputation and the University's strong links with London hospitals and NHS Laboratories ensures that students will be studying the latest developments, practices and research. Middlesex University's Centre for Investigative and Diagnostic Oncology has pioneered techniques for cancer diagnosis and treatment, including the breakthrough in the development of a vaccine for bladder cancer.
