PhD programmes are based on individual research projects that last 3 or 4 years, working with a specific academic supervisor (principle investigators). Applicants are specifically matched with a principle investigator based on their research interests and background.
Geneticists seek to understand how biological information is replicated, transmitted or altered and the overall effects on phenotypes, populations and evolution. Genetics research uses modern technologies, equipment and approaches to study prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems. 'What are genes, how are genes organised and how do they affect phenotypes?' are questions that relate to molecular genetics and genomics. 'How is genetic information transmitted and expressed from generation to generation?' covers transmission genetics and 'How do genes and the effects of genes behave and change within and between populations?' is the bassis of evolutionary, population and quantitative genetics. Areas of study include:
Molecular Mechanisms Controlling Gene Expression
Genetic Disorders
Developmental Genetics
Genome Organisation
Chromosome Structure
Organisation & Reproduction
Cell Cycle Control
Behavioural Genetics
Population & Quantitative Biology
Ecological & Evolutionary Genetics
Mathematical Models & Statistical Analysis of Inheritance & Evolution
