MSc Cell and Tissue Engineering
Cell and tissue engineering has the potential to unlock new treatments for some of the biggest health issues facing society, for diseases of the heart, lungs, eyes, muscle, bone, etc as well as offering possibilities for repairing or regenerating cells of the body, joints and organs.
Capitalising on our exceptional track record of bench and bedside research in regenerative medicine, our MSc introduces you to this dynamic, ever-evolving discipline, which is bringing hope to millions of patients worldwide.
Practical in focus, you’ll gain a solid grounding in cell biology, human anatomy and physiology, and molecular techniques, as well as advanced knowledge of topics in biomaterials, nanotechnology, cell and tissue engineering.
You’ll learn to research strategies to repair, replace and ultimately regenerate various tissues and organs, translating fundamental knowledge in physics, chemistry and biology into practical and effective materials, devices, novel therapies and treatments to solve major clinical problems.
Based in the Guy Hilton Research Centre, you’ll have access to cutting-edge multi-disciplinary research into specialist and novel areas of regenerative medicine with the opportunity to conduct an in-depth research project alongside our world-class researchers. Previous student dissertation projects, for example, have included genetic engineering of heart cells, nanomagnetics for cancer treatment, and 3D bioprinting for disease modelling.
Research at Keele encompasses tissue engineering for the study of cardiovascular diseases and nanotechnology to control behaviour of cells in cases of neural injury or neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s. And, as part of the Versus Arthritis Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Therapies Centre, our researchers work on cell therapy treatments to regenerate damaged bones, joints and muscles in patients with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
As well as excellent preparation for PhD study, this MSc responds to the growing demand for specialists in the rapidly expanding field of stem cells, regenerative medicine, cancer, material science, bio/tissue engineering and associated novel technologies. It can lead to exciting careers in clinical research, technology development, bioprocessing, therapeutics and regenerative medicine within healthcare, life science and medical-related industry or academia.
