Last year we had some really tremendous MRes and MSc students https://t.co/u3NkU3VzUa who really did shape the global health agenda for schistosomiasis
lstmed.ac.uk
All of them undertook themed research projects nested within the original HUGS study. Their topics included genetic analysis of Schistosoma hybrids, detection of female/male genital schistosomiasis
Whether you’re considering a Master’s, an MRes, or one of our diplomas or short courses, you’re taking a vital step towards shaping the future of global health. Our world-leading research underpins every aspect of our teaching. Visit https://t.co/OHP7ADk4Vp to learn more.
