MSc (Research) Ageing, Health and Welfare
Course Overview
This course offers a comprehensive exploration of the biology of ageing, animal welfare, and sustainable food security through an integrative research-led approach. Students will undertake tailored projects that combine field and laboratory work to understand the fundamental mechanisms and environmental factors influencing health and longevity across species. The program employs cutting-edge techniques from genomics to computational modelling to address these global challenges.
Key Program Highlights
- Integrative research projects combining field studies and advanced laboratory techniques
- Focus on the prenatal and environmental programming of ageing and healthspan
- Training in cutting-edge 'omics' technologies (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics)
- Comparative studies on ageing mechanisms from molecular to organismal levels
- Opportunities for both UK-based and international field research
