The programme provides an excellent background in biomedical research, and will integrate chemical, biological and physiological aspects in a unified approach. It also emphasizes an investigative and empirical approach to the practical problems encountered in experimental and human biomedical science. The MRes Biomedical Research - Data Science provides an interdisciplinary training in analysis of ‘big data’ from modern high throughput biomolecular studies. This is achieved through a core training in multivariate statistics, chemometrics and machine learning methods, along with research experience in the development and application of these methods to real-world biomedical studies. You will gain experience of analyzing and modelling data from multiple sources and applying it to biomedical questions. You’ll also learn how to implement statistical and machine learning techniques and use scientific thought when interpreting the results of data sets. Throughout the stream, you will develop communication, presentation and grant-writing skills. Students will become familiar with evaluating research reports through writing, presentations and seminars. This stream is suitable for students with a degree in physical sciences, engineering, mathematics computer science who wish to apply their numeric skills to solve biomedical problems with big data. The programme offers training in a vast array of laboratories across the Faculty of Medicine (approximately 700 world leading research groups) and an opportunity to learn from leaders in the field. Graduates of our Data Science stream are well-equipped for a variety of careers, including: Data science engineer, Research in molecular epidemiology and statistical genetics, Translational bioinformatics research, Health informatics consultant/advisor, Technical/management consultancy and Biomedical software start-up.
