DPhil in Systems Approaches in Biomedical Sciences Industrial Doctorate Centre

Course Code | 003701

DPhil students undertake a four-year training programme. The first two terms are devoted to acquiring theoretical and technical skills in subjects covered in our LSI and Systems Biology programmes plus additional areas such as medical chemistry, chemical pharmacology, chemoinformatics, toxicology, molecular imaging, and genomic epidemiology. It also provides training in project management, strategic planning, leadership, team working, commercial awareness, and problem solving throughout the four years of the programme.

Following this, students embark on two short projects, followed by a three year research project with the intention that DTC students will work closely with industry and that the IDC will offer a spectrum of opportunities located in both academic and industrial settings. The companies currently involved in the IDC are linked to the following industrial sectors: Pharmaceutical; Biomedical and Imaging Technology; Health Related IT; and Biotechnology and Health Related Informatics.
