Fundamental Genetics and Evolution
The module will provide a foundation in genetics and evolution. Concepts such as DNA discovery, structure and replication, gene transcription and translation, mechanisms of gene transmission, genome organisation, epigenetic modifications and mutations will be covered with an appreciation of how how these mechanisms have an impact on human disease and antibiotic resistance.
The latter part of the module will start with the work of Plato, Cuvier, Lamarck, Wallace and Darwin and how they (and others) influenced the development of an evolutionary theory framework. Using this knowledge the module will then look at the processes involved in speciation and how they can be applied at both the gene and whole organismal level.

Molecular Evolution
The module aims to critically evaluate concepts and apply the scientific methods pertaining to the study of molecular
evolution, in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.

Esblygiad Moleciwlaidd
Nod y modiwl yw gwerthuso cysyniadau'n feirniadol a defnyddio¿r dulliau gwyddonol sy'n berthnasol i astudio esblygiad moleciwlaidd mewn organebau procaryotig ac ewcaryotig.

Capstone Project
The aim of this module is to provide a capstone experience to students¿ learning, through participating in their own
enquiry-based research project. The project may be laboratory or non-laboratory based, but it will always involve a
research question that is drawn from the literature, and focused on a topic relevant to medical science. It will ask a
novel research question and involve the critical analysis of research findings. Students will refine their oral and
written communication skills to a graduate level through creating an introductory presentation on the project
background, and a written dissertation and oral presentation on their research conclusions.

PM-357
Biomedical Laboratory Techniques
The module will provide practical and in depth theory of applications and equipment available to MSci students in the biomedical research laboratories based at the Medical School. The module will provide guidelines and rationale for experimental design, and data and statistical analysis.

Bioinformatics: From Sequence to Function
The ever increasing availability of genome sequences and protein structure data demands that molecular biologists are proficient at performing extensive data analyses to guide and support traditional laboratory-based research. This Module will provide the theoretical basis and practical training on computational tools currently used to assemble and interrogate genome sequences, infer gene and protein functions, and to examine protein structure data.

Advanced Research Project A
The advanced research project is a key component of the final year of study, providing students with experience of
conducting cutting-edge research in the Institute of Life Science and Centre for Nanohealth over an extended period of time.
The project will fall into one of the current medically-related research themes: Biomarkers and Genes; Microbes and
Immunity; Devices and health informatics. Students will employ a range of advanced analytical procedures to investigate a specific topic.
In addition, they will gain experience in preparing a research proposal and presenting their data in various formats.
Research topics will be assigned that are appropriate to a specific degree title. For example, a Genetics student
could be assigned a project investigating gene function in an insect vector of a tropical disease, using the technique
of RNA interference.
The advanced research project is divided between 2 modules, PM-400 and PM-402. PM-400
includes the following components: (1) Preparation of a research poster, (2) A 15-minute audio recording giving a presentation of the research area and (3) Oral defence of the project in a viva.

Prosiect Ymchwil Uwch A
Mae'r prosiect ymchwil uwch yn elfen allweddol o'r flwyddyn astudio olaf. Mae'n rhoi cyfle i fyfyrwyr gael profiad o ymgymryd ag ymchwil arloesol yn y Sefydliad Gwyddor Bywyd a'r Ganolfan NanoIechyd am gyfnod estynedig o amser. Bydd y prosiect yn canolbwyntio ar un o'r themâu ymchwil canlynol sy'n berthnasol i'r gwyddorau meddygol: Biofarcwyr a Genynnau; Microbau ac Imiwnedd; Dyfeisiau. Bydd myfyrwyr yn defnyddio amrywiaeth o dechnegau dadansoddi uwch i ymchwilio i bwnc penodol. Yn ogystal, byddant yn cael profiad o lunio cynnig ymchwil a chyflwyno eu data mewn amrywiaeth o fformatau. Dynodir themâu ymchwil sy'n briodol i deitl gradd penodol. Er enghraifft, os yw myfyriwr yn astudio Geneteg, gellir dynodi prosiect yn ymchwilio i weithrediad gennyn mewn fector pryfed clefyd trofannol, gan ddefnyddio techneg ymyrraeth RNA.
Rhennir y prosiect ymchwil uwch rhwng dau fodiwl, PM-400 a PM-402. Mae PM-400 yn cynnwys y cydrannau canlynol: (1) Llunio poster ymchwil, (2) Recordiad sain 15 munud sy'n cyflwyno'r maes ymchwil a (3) Amddiffyn y prosiect mewn arholiad llafar agored.
