The four-year Molecular Cell Biology PhD programme at the MRC LMCB provides a broad in-depth training in fundamental aspects of biomedical science. The programme provides students with the opportunity to carry out cutting edge research in an internationally competitive environment. First-year rotations through three different laboratories, a bespoke tutorial series and the potential for a ‘fourth rotation’ in either UCSF or Hokkaido University are some of the programme highlights.
CareersRecent graduates have secured positions as research fellows and postdoctoral researchers at leading UK universities including Cambridge and UCL and at overseas organisations such as Memorial Sloane-Kettering Cancer Center, USA and the Agency for Science Technology and Research (A*STAR), Singapore. Graduates of the programme have also established careers within the scientific technology and pharmaceutical industries.
