MSc Microbiology and Infection - 29 April 2026

MicroRNAs are tiny non-coding RNA molecules with an outsized impact. They control gene expression, shape immune responses, influence how infections establish and persist, and contribute to cancer development.

In this free online masterclass, we use microRNAs as a lens to explore how modern microbiology actually works. We move from core molecular biology to real research questions, from textbook pathways to live experimental data, and from laboratory discovery to clinical and diagnostic applications.

This session is designed for those who are curious about infection, disease, and how molecular biology is applied in the real world. It offers a genuine insight into how advanced microbiology is explored and how research questions are approached.
