Pathology MPhil/PhD

Pathology is one five research departments within the Cancer Institute. It covers research areas such the genetics and cell biology of sarcoma, thoracic and molecular pathology, computational cancer biology, hematopathology, gynaecologic pathology, digital pathology and gastrointestinal pathology.

You will develop your research hypothesis with your supervisors and work as part of their research team. You will be supported by a supervisory team including your principal supervisor, plus a thesis committee.

Your studies will benefit from two further specialist facilities. Our Pathology Core Facility offers a wide range of tissue-based and molecular services for UCL research scientists. We also offer access to pathology software packages to support the processing and analysis of whole genome sequencing data from cancer samples.

A core priority of our programme is developing your knowledge and skills. In addition to UCL’s Doctoral Skills Programme, the Cancer Institute runs a compulsory first-year training programme that will improve your research skills and provide networking opportunities.

This Pathology PhD programme is based in London and is available on a full-time or part-time basis.
