School of Biosciences / School of Physics and Astronomy
Cardiff University
A limited number of EPSRC studentships are available for UK/EU students to support study on the new MSc in Biophotonics at Cardiff University.
Cardiff’s MSc in Biophotonics is a ground-breaking course, suitable both for life scientists who want to explore the challenges and, fundamental insights that can be gained from crossing into the world of physics, and for physical scientists who want to explore the fascinating complexity of fast-developing areas of biology.
This programme is jointly taught by expert scientists in the School of Physics and Astronomy and the School of Biosciences. The course will use world-class research and teaching facilities to cover topics including advanced light microscopy, laser-based analysis, nanoparticles as optical bio-labels, biosensors, and medical applications.
Subject Areas in this one-year full-time MSc include:
• Multiphoton Laser Microscopy
• Cell and Tissue Imaging
• Optical Biosensors
• Quantum Dots as Bio-labels
• Optical Tweezers
• Ablation and Laser Surgery
• Photo-activation of drugs
• Optical Bio-chips
• Optical Coherence Tomography
