Introduction to Molecular Techniques
https://le.ac.uk/modules/2024/mb7001
Module code: MB7001 Searching for novel cancer-causing genes researchers requires methods for manipulating the genetic material. For example, molecular cloning allows us to study the function of a gene and how cell behaviour is affected when that gene is altered in cancer.

Advanced Topics in Cancer Biology
https://le.ac.uk/modules/2024/mb7004
Module code: MB7004 The development and use of appropriate anti-cancer therapy rely on the accurate diagnosis of cancer. Therefore, it is important to be able to differentiate between normal and malignant tissue under the microscope.
