This MSc Microbial Genomics provides advanced training in the sequencing and analysis of microorganisms, and their roles in health, disease, and the environment.
Microbial genomics has revolutionised our understanding of the microscopic world, shifting from studying isolated organisms to analysing complex communities in high resolution. It allows scientists to decode the genetic makeup of microbes, opening up new frontiers in medicine, the environment, and industry.
The genomics course will equip you with the theoretical knowledge and analytical skills required to investigate microbial genomes and communities using modern sequencing technologies and computational approaches.
