Master of Science - Cancer Biology and Therapeutics

Program Description This Middlesex University MSc programme will develop students' knowledge and understanding of cancer diagnosis and therapeutics. The course will focus on up-to-date diagnostic techniques and emerging tumour markers and their potential applications in specific diagnostics for various types of cancers. In addition, students will be exploring drug delivery systems and learning to make drug carriers for targeting cancers using nanotechnology. Students will also be trained to perform a range of molecular, cellular and proteomics laboratory techniques used for detecting tumour markers and monitoring therapeutic effects.

In addition, students will be led by experts who are in the front line of drug development and drug delivery and acquire useful novel laboratory skills using nanotechnology and Multiplex Immunoassay-NALIA system, which will equip them with the necessary/essential skills for pursuing a range of career options. Students could also proceed to further scientific training or they would be well-equipped to carry out research. A final dissertation project will be supervised by experts focusing on a variety of cancer research areas.
