Cell Matrix Research

Course Overview

Pursue your ambitions in biological sciences with the PhD Cell Matrix Research at University of Manchester. Based in Manchester, England, this Russell Group university offers a research-led approach to learning, with a 3-year full-time and part-time structure. Our PhD/MPhil Cell Matrix Research programme enables you to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of the interactions between cells and their extracellular matrix environment in the contexts of health, disease and tissue regeneration. Cells continuously sense, synthesise and remodel the proteins and glycosaminoglycans that form the Extracellular Matrix (ECM). This matrix varies in its biochemical and biophysical properties in different parts of the body, and their responses to these differences influence the motility, growth, differentiation and survival of cells. A minimum ielts score of 6.5 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 88% student satisfaction rating, and 73% of graduates in employment or further study.
