Oncology

专业详情

The Department of Oncology employs multidisciplinary approaches from physics, biology, chemistry and mathematical modelling to investigate DNA biology and epigenetics, cell and environmental biology of tumour tissue and both systemic and local immunological responses in cancer. The programme focuses on expanding scientific knowledge with a particular focus on therapies involving drug discovery or action and combination therapies with radiotherapy.

The MSc by Research in Oncology course accepts students for one to three years of study, however, the majority of students in this department complete their project in a year. Applications are accepted from both basic scientists and clinicians.

In the first instance interested applicants are advised to review the department’s website to identify potential supervisors based on their research area of interest. Selecting the correct research projects is a hugely important first step so it is recommended that you contact a potential supervisor directly to discuss possibilities. Each researcher has their own profile page with their contact details listed.
