Master of Science in Biomedical and Molecular Sciences - Experimental Medicine

Queen's University

The Department of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences (DBMS) at Queen’s University offers programs leading to the Master of Science (Anatomical Sciences), Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. In the latter two degree programs (M.Sc. and Ph.D) students would choose from one of the five fields of specialization which represent the research strength of the department. The department provides a cross-disicplinary environment and delivers the programs in a collaborative and integrated manner. This interdisciplinary gives candidates access to over 80 faculty members engaged in a broad spectrum of biomedical research, using techniques to address questions concerning single molecules, cellular/microbial function, organ-systems, and whole-animal biology. Researchers in this field employ interdisciplinary methods to explore the processes responsible for both the normal and diseased state. This includes the mechanisms underlying disorders of the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, nervous, respiratory, and urogenital systems, as well as cancer. Molecular, cellular- and/or systems-based approaches are used to investigate cellular or animal models of disease as well as patient populations.
