MSc by research Functional Genetics and Development in Edinburgh United Kingdom | The University of Edinburgh

The development of an animal from a fertilized egg to full maturity involves the coordinated activity of all genes in its genome. Different genes become active at various stages and in specific cell types. While gene expression follows a dynamic but regulated pattern, disruptions in this process can lead to disease.

The Division of Functional Genetics and Development focuses on analyzing, comprehending, and harnessing the shifting patterns of gene expression in mammals. Such insights will deepen our biological knowledge, paving the way for breakthroughs in biotechnology, agriculture, and medicine.

Achieving these objectives requires fostering a vibrant, well-supported community of postgraduate researchers. These individuals will shape tomorrow's scientific landscape as researchers, innovators, science communicators, and policy makers.
