I truly enjoy my research project at Genetics. I am particularly interested in understanding how genes function in key cellular processes using cutting-edge microscopy and genetic tools. People at the department are kind and helpful, which makes a wonderful environment for research. My MPhil course is flexible, and you can do lots of other things in addition to your research like courses and workshops. Daiki Sugita (March 27, 2025)

One of the aspects I enjoy most about being part of the Department of Genetics is the vibrant postgraduate community - everyone is supportive, collaborative, and passionate about their work. The department regularly organises both social and academic events, making it easy to connect with peers and take a break from lab work. I also appreciate the diverse range of seminars, which provide a great opportunity to explore different research topics and engage in thought-provoking discussions.
