Advanced Gene Regulation & Expression module (BS42010)

​​Advanced Gene Regulation and Expression provides an in-depth study of specialist topics reflecting current research in the Centre for Gene Regulation and Expression at Dundee.

The module covers areas such as RNA biology, advanced technologies for studying gene function, integrative omics and imaging in human health, and genome duplication and stability.

Delivered through lectures followed by tutorials, the module is designed for active participation and in-depth engagement with cutting-edge research concepts. Two data analysis workshops develop your practical skills in analysing gene function and proteomics datasets.
