Molecular & Cellular Biology

About this course

Molecular and cellular biology is the study of life at its most fundamental level, examining the processes that take place within and between cells and the molecules that make those processes possible. It draws on biochemistry, genetics and cell biology to explain how proteins are made and regulated, how DNA is copied and repaired, how cells divide and differentiate, and how the molecular machinery of cells underlies the functioning of tissues and whole organisms. This is a discipline that sits at the frontier of biological knowledge and drives much of modern medicine, biotechnology and agriculture. At the University of Glasgow, this four-year programme provides a thorough grounding in the core sciences before building towards specialist knowledge and independent research. You will study the structure and function of biological macromolecules, gene expression and regulation, cell signal
