M.Sc. Cellular & Molecular Oncology

Overview

M.Sc. in Cellular & Molecular Oncology is a postgraduate program from JAIN (Deemed-to-be University). It aims at providing specialized theoretical and practical knowledge in the cellular and molecular genetics of cancer with the knowledge to create specialized manpower for high quality clinical and basic research in the perspective of human cancer. Emphasis is given to ensure that students develop an in-depth understanding of cancer along with a clear understanding of allied subjects both in theory and applied techniques. With enthusiastic, innovative and focused approach will provide a changing nature of cancer research with special emphasis on human genome, molecular medicine, cancer genomics & proteomics, bioinformatics, and drug design and targeting. It also provides students appropriate communication skills to effectively disseminate research and technical information, including practical implications of research analysis. It will equip the students of this course with a range of transferable skills, knowledge and opportunities to pursue a career at the highest level in industry or research.
