癌症技术

This course equips you with skills to address tomorrow’s challenges in cancer using state-of-the-art technologies and physical sciences/mathematical approaches.

The course involves lectures and practical work in the first term, followed by full-time work on a research project. A variety of seminars and workshops are also provided to deepen and broaden your skill base.

The course embodies a multi-disciplinary approach that:

Provides a critical understanding of the fundamentals of cancer progression and current challenges in cancer management
Enables students to apply their knowledge of engineering, physics and mathematics to solving challenges in cancer through a nine-month cross-disciplinary research project
Develops research and analytical skills related to bioengineering in cancer and to effectively communicate results through oral and written scientific formats
Trains students to effectively communicate with oncologists, cancer biologists, clinicians and researchers
Prepare students for demanding careers or PhD programmes at the interface of cancer and bioengineering
The course builds on the Department of Bioengineering’s diverse strengths in this area in addition to our collaborations with our world-leading partner, the Institute of Cancer Research.
