Molecular medicine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Molecular medicine is a new scientific discipline in British universities. Combining contemporary medical studies with the field of biochemistry, it offers a bridge between the two subjects. At present only a handful of universities offer the course to undergraduates. With a degree in this discipline the graduate is able to pursue a career in medical sciences, scientific research, laboratory work and postgraduate medical degrees.

Subjects

Core subjects typically include gene expression, research methods, proteins, cancer research, immunology and many more besides. In some universities molecular medicine is combined with another discipline such as chemistry, functioning as an additional study to enrich the undergraduate program.
