Stuay areas:
- Stem Cells
- Diabetes
- Computational Biology
- Epidemiology
- Metabolism
- Immunology
- Development and Systems Biology
- Cellular Plasticity
Eligibility:
- Applicants require a University Master’s degree (MSc or equivalent) to apply.
- However, if candidate has a four year Bachelor’s degree without a Master’s degree and wish to apply, please contact the Research School Office.
- Applicants still studying for their Master’s degree may provide a provisional certificate or bona fide statement from the University stating the marks already obtained and estimated graduation date.
