Overview

Kent's expertise in disciplines such as biochemistry, microbiology and biomedical science allows them to exploit technology and develop groundbreaking ideas in the fields of genetics, molecular biology, protein science, biophysics and computational biology. Fields of enquiry encompass a range of molecular processes from cell division, transcription and translation through to molecular motors, molecular diagnostics and the production of biotherapeutics and bioenergy.

Kent's research degrees are based around laboratory and computational research projects. PhD study involves a 3-4 year research project on a full-time basis, or 5-6 years part-time. In all the research degrees, students undertake a single, focused, research project from day one, and attend components of transferable skills modules. Students are supervised by a team which comprises of a main supervisor(s) as well as supervisory chairs that give independent advice on progression.
