MSc by Research in Computing in Biology, Medicine and Health

University of Leeds

Our research covers a range of applied topics in biology, medicine and health. We construct computational models of biological systems, collaborate with pathologists to make breakthroughs in 3D imaging and digital microscopy, deliver novel designs for bio-inspired autonomous agents, and develop secure systems architectures, data mining and visual analytics methods for Big Data. We collaborate extensively with the University’s Medicine and Health, Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Mathematics and Engineering departments. We also have substantial collaborations with external organisations such as the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (one of the largest teaching hospitals in Europe) and the Leeds-based NHS Health and Social Care Information Centre. For details, please see our research pages. Our facilities include wall-sized visualisation displays and medical-grade high-resolution workstations. We also make substantial use of laboratory facilities in Biological Sciences, and genomics next-generation sequencing and virtual pathology scanning services in Medicine and Health.
