Master’s and Undergraduate Projects

We have multiple projects suitable for master’s students that focus on

  • RNA biology and genetics – using animals with mutations in key RNA processing and modification enzymes
  • RNA biochemistry, method development and therapeutics – developing new assays using nanopore sequencing
  • Metabolism – regulation of gene expression through dietary metabolites
  • Data analysis – analysis of sequencing data

If you are interested in doing a master’s project or if you would like to spend regular time in a research lab during your degree, do get in touch.

For UK students, UEA MSc by Research degrees are a very cost-effective way to get your master’s degree. For international students, 2-year MSc by Research degrees have many advantages. Please contact the Faculty of Science Graduate School to get more information.
