Regenerative Medicine

What you'll study

The program is delivered jointly by Queen Mary University of London 's Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry and the School of Engineering and Materials Science. Through the taught modules, you will develop a strong scientific foundation in the biology of stem cells and regeneration, as well as the fundamental principles of biomaterials, tissue engineering and cellular reprogramming. You will also be given a strong scientific foundation in research methods that will give you the necessary skills to undertake your own research.

In the second and third semester, you will have the opportunity to complete an extended research project. These will primarily be lab-based in our state-of-the-art research facilities, with some bioinformatics projects also available. You will gain hands on experience of discovery research by designing and carrying out your own experiment. You will be provided with training in experimental design, effective collaboration, data analysis, and presentation skills.

Career paths

While this Regenerative Medicine program from Queen Mary University of Londonis a new addition to our suite of Regenerative Medicine programs, alumni of our related MSc Regenerative Medicine program have gone on to become research scientists in the academic or industry sectors. Other graduates have pursued related careers, including science publication, clinical trials, project management, and marketing.

Graduates have enrolled in PhD studies or gone on to medical school. Some students have returned to their clinical work/study and others are pursuing careers as scientific investigators.

Courses include:

• Cell and Molecular Basis of Regeneration
• Stem Cell and Development Biology
• Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering
• Tissue-specific Stem Cells
• Medical Ethics and Regulatory Affairs
