Research project in Immunology and Immunotherapy (60 credits)
Students will carry out a detailed investigation, using laboratory techniques, of a cutting-edge research question relevant to immunology or immunotherapy. This project will involve working as part of a team within a research group, producing novel scientific data, analysing and interpreting this data, and carrying out onward experimental design. The research projects will be available across a broad range of cutting-edge immunology/immunotherapy research groups within the College of MDS. Some projects will also be available within a number of external commercial organisations, including University of Birmingham spin-out companies and biotechnology/pharmaceutical companies with an interest in immunotherapy.
During the research project students will present a poster of their work to academics and peers.
