Overview

After a very short induction period of one or two weeks, during which some basic training is provided, you will start a research project in your supervisor’s laboratory.

Features

Most laboratories have weekly meetings where members present and discuss their research results with other members of the laboratory. In the Molecular Cell Biology in Health and Disease programme from University of Oxford, you will also regularly present your work in progress seminars, which are attended by other research groups working in related areas.

Programme Structure

Research

Whilst working on your research project you will participate in a comprehensive, flexible skills training programme which includes a range of workshops and seminars in transferable skills, generic research skills and specific research techniques.

There are also numerous seminars and lectures by local and visiting scientists and you are provided with many opportunities to meet leading scientists.
