Stratigrad stands for Stratified Medicine Graduate Training Programme in Systems Medicine and Spectroscopic Profiling and is an innovative PhD program that addresses the need to produce a new generation of scientists to work at the interface of disciplines that collectively drive new discoveries at the systems level. The purpose of the programme is to establish a collaborative network of research organisations with common interests in the areas of stratified medicine, clinical diagnostics, prognostics and theranostic biomarker discovery, novel therapeutic development, and organic disease mechanisms through a combined PhD training and stratified medicine. consortium in the fields of molecular phenotyping, systems modelling.
The ICB CDT in Chemical Biology
The Institute of Chemical Biology was created in 2003, to enable the development of novel tools and technologies that could be applied to tackle biological challenges at a molecular level. It currently consists of approximately 70 research groups who are all interested in tackling challenges that lie at this interface. The ICB CDT is a doctoral training programme, which forms the heart of the ICB. It aims to train students in the art of multidisciplinary Chemical Biology research, through a combination of taught courses and research, and to empower students to become the future world leaders in Chemical Biology research. The ICB CDT 1+3 year PhD project now available for the October 2019 cohort: Gut on a Chip 4.0: next generation models to study gut-microbiome-metabolism interactions.
The NexGenAgriChem Marie Curie ITN
NexGenAgriChem is an Innovative Doctoral Training Programme that breaks down boundaries between the Physical sciences and the Agri-sciences - quite unique in the UK and EU. The programme trains a new generation of multidisciplinary researchers who will underpin the development of novel tools and technologies able to provide molecular insight into the mode of action of agrochemicals.
Theory and Simulation of Materials
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training on Theory and Simulation of Materials (TSM-CDT) is the UK's centre of excellence in theory and simulation. We are training a new generation of scientists who have a passion for cutting-edge research and are inspired to use their talent for theory and mathematics to tackle the scientific and technological challenges of today and the future. The central theme is bridging length and time scales which pose some of the most challenging problems in theory and simulation. Students receive a comprehensive foundation in theoretical materials physics together with techniques for simulating materials across the wide range of length and time scales met in academic and industrial research.
