The aims of the MRC Mitochondrial Biology Unit are to study the biology of the mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cell. There is a growing realisation that the dysfunction of various aspects of mitochondrial biology are connected to major neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, and that as the major source of reactive oxygen species, the mitochondrion is likely also to be involved in ageing.

This is a one-year research programme which is assessed by a written dissertation and by an oral examination. It is suited to those who wish to pursue research at a level beyond that of an undergraduate degree and will give a good basic training in laboratory work. It is not suitable for candidates who wish to undertake a masters degree with major and examined course components in order to enhance their undergraduate training.
Applicants for this course should have achieved a UK II.i Honours Degree.
The Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience (PDN) offers excellent opportunities and facilities for training in research, leading to the MPhil (Master of Philosophy) degree.The MPhil in Biological Sciences (PDN) is a full-time research degree. Students also attend relevant lectures and seminars and participate in skills development training activities organized by the Department and the Graduate School of Life Sciences.
Applicants for this course should have achieved a UK II.i Honours Degree.
MPhil students must submit a dissertation for examination within the maximum period of their study. All graduate students attend induction and safety training courses in the department. As well as undertaking your research, you will attend courses and lectures on some of the following: instrumentation, sequencing and database use, statistics, experimental design, analysing data, writing reports and a dissertation, introduction to MIMAS (a national data centre run by the University of Manchester), and how to give effective scientific presentations. Termly reports are provided on your work.

An 11 month (October - August) full-time course of research, culminating in the submission of a thesis and viva voce examination. There are no taught components to this course but students do attend appropriate lectures and courses such as those involving transferable skills training.Zoology is a Department that brings together researchers from a great diversity of disciplines, ranging from cell biology to field ecology. What unites us is an interest in the whole organism, and in how systems interact across different levels of organization to generate the complexity of form, function and behaviour that are observed in the living world.
Applicants for this course should have achieved a UK II.i Honours Degree.
A PhD degree by research over a minimum of three and a maximum of four years, including a probationary period of one year.Research subjects run the gamut from mathematical studies through small and macromolecules, cells, tissues and model organisms to clinical patients. Examination is by submission and viva voce examination of a thesis. Each student is assigned a primary supervisor and they will then assign an advisor or supervisory team to assist the student under their supervision.Training is available in transferable and specialist science skills.

This programme is designed to provide valuable experience of pre-competitive research which spans academia (the University of Cambridge) and industry (MedImmune).The programme aims to promote innovative pre-clinical research by training independent scientists who can develop preclinical and/translatable innovations providing valuable industry experience for early career researchers. An important feature of this programme is that students will build useful academia-industry relationships and will develop and execute a coherent body of research with direct involvement in an academic and industrial biomedical research setting.
