  • provide knowledge and skills for understanding and complying with the ethics and governance requirements for laboratory-based research.
  • prepare students to analyse and solve problems using an interdisciplinary and systems approach.

Teaching Facilities

The School of Pharmacy and Bioengineering (PhaB) has evolved from Keele’s internationally respected strength in molecular, cellular & tissue engineering, biomedical engineering and expanded rapidly over the last ten years. The School bridges the interface between new advances in basic science and medicine, allowing the translation of laboratory findings into benefits for patients. A truly multi-disciplinary approach to research is used to address clinical problems with an excellent integration of the skills and knowledge of engineers, mathematicians, biologists, chemists, physicists and clinicians. The school has an international reputation for world-leading research in the bioengineering area.

The teaching and research for the MRes programme will mainly take place in the Guy Hilton Research Centre, Hartshill Campus, Keele University. However, in some cases, the David Weatherall Building and Hornbeam Building on main Keele Campus, the Clinical Education Centre on the Hospital Area, or other rooms/ tours within the hospital and Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital, Oswestry may be used.
