肥胖症、内分泌学与代谢 MPhil Obesity, Endocrinology and Metabolism

This full-time taught MPhil at the Institute of Metabolic Science provides in-depth cutting-edge knowledge of the physiology and pathophysiology of energy balance and metabolism, along with current and future therapeutic opportunities. Obesity and its metabolic consequences represent major public health threats, with projections indicating 1 billion people living with obesity and 642 million with diabetes worldwide by 2030. Students undertake a 32-week research project in a world-leading laboratory spanning molecular and cell biology, mouse models, human physiology, genomics, computational biology, and state-of-the-art technologies. The course addresses fundamental mechanisms of appetite and energy balance regulation and the development of new therapies based on mechanistic advances.
