Research and literature projects in computational biology

You should expect the project to be an exciting culmination of your Masters programme, which will give you the opportunity to work on a current research topic at the life science/computer science interface. The project can lead to new job opportunities in bioinformatics, or to further study at PhD level. Please look through the outlines below for examples of some of the many applications of bioinformatics.

Current MSc projects include :

• Investigation and annotation of protein networks with disruptions of protein interfaces with reference to cancer phenotypes
• Repertoire analysis of mucosal plasma cells
• Identification of sub-networks in mouse interaction data

There are links below to more detailed information on completed bioinformatics projects, and examples of published research projects are given on the Publications page.

The time allowed for the literature project is 26 weeks and for the research project is 52 weeks. Each project will be supervised by a member of staff from the University of Manchester.
