I am a student currently in my 4th year of an M. Sc 5-year integrated course in Biotechnology with a CGPA of 9.54/10. I have studied behavioural science and neurobiology as course subjects and have done lab work on epigenetics. How do I proceed if I am also interested to do a one-year Master's thesis project in the same?
Linking behaviour, neurobiology, and epigenetics leads to many chronic syndromes and diseases that conventional medicine does not know how to approach. Epigenetics is much linked now to nutritional treatments. So I suggest looking into 'functional medicine' (usa), there, is an institute that trains doctors (also a public ecourse) (there is another in france may be elsewhere in europe too). this is a new trend in medicine, partly rooted in systems biology, and they interact a lot with medical schools to modernise medical training.
If you contact them and discuss your previous training and your interests, they might be able to orient you to an institution for a Ph.D. on a subject in this direction.
Thank you so much for your prompt response, Ma'am. It will definitely help me narrow down my area of interest as I pursue my higher studies.
