MSc in Biomedical Sciences

University of Guelph

Students may take an MSc degree in Biomedical Sciences with an emphasis on aspects of Reproductive Biology Developmental, Cell and Tissue Morphology and Biomedical ToxicologyPharmacology and Neuroscience. A number of choices are available for the thesis research project these may include molecular, cellular, immunological or developmental aspects of growth and differentiation, physiological, morphological or biomechanical investigations of normal function and disease processes in a variety of organs and tissues, or pharmacological mechanisms related to therapy and drug toxicology. There are two streams: a traditional two-year MSc thesis-based stream, and a one-year MBS stream that consists of course work and a research project.Students may wish to focus their MSc degree in one of the three major fields: 1 reproductive biology and development 2 cellular and molecular basis of health and disease 3 cancer biology 4 cardiovascular physiology 5 stem cell biology and regenerative medicine 6 biomedical toxicology and pharmacology and 7 neuroscience. The research project may involve: molecular, cellular or developmental aspects of tissue or animal differentiation and growth physiological, morphological or biomechanical investigations of normal function or disease processes in a variety of organs and tissues or pharmacological mechanisms related to therapy and drug toxicity.
