| Summary | A 15 week research project in Molecular Biology and Immunology |
| Course description |
The course will run alongside 2 other courses (Research Project in Epidemiology, Evolutionary Biology and Ecology, and Scientific Methodologies) and give training across the full range of pathogen and host interactions, from core molecular processes to understanding host-pathogen interactions in the field, including co-infections, zoonoses and evolutionary dynamics.
This training will also give the students a rounded appreciation of how multidisciplinary approaches will allow them to address research problems in an integrated way, when they choose their main PhD project.
