PhD Project Areas Available in 2009A brochure describing PhD projects available in the School of Molecular & Biomedical Sciences in 2009 is available for download here. Further information about specific projects offered by many laboratories can be found using the list of research areas below: Biochemistry Note! Many laboratories are willing to discuss additional project areas and may be able to tailor projects to the interests and expectations of individual students. For this reason, you are strongly encouraged to contact members of the laboratory for further information. The research pages of every laboratory have links in the left hand toolbar that provide contact details (click "Personnel") and, in many cases, descriptions of specific projects (click "Current Research Projects" and then "PhD Projects"). Research and contact details for affiliate laboratories (not housed within the School) are provided in downloadable .pdf documents.
