The Oxford Doctoral Training Centre in Systems Biology (SysBio DTC) was established at the start of the 2007/8 academic year with funding from the EPSRC and BBSRC. The SysBio DTC is one of two programmes within the Oxford Doctoral Training Centre, the other being the Life Sciences Interface Programme (also EPSRC funded) which was established in 2002 and renewed in 2007. The SysBio DTC provides a comprehensive training programme for graduates from both the physical and life sciences wishing to undertake research careers in the exciting new interdisciplinary field of Integrative Systems Biology. The SysBio DTC has its own distinctive research programme that is strongly aligned to that of the University's new Centre for Integrative Systems Biology (OCISB). Together these two centres act within the University as a focus for and catalyst of a rapidly expanding and extensive research activity in Systems Biology. The research focus of the SysBio DTC is to develop a systems approach to bridging the gap between theoretical and experimental knowledge from the level of individual molecules to the level of the whole cell / organism. Students are empowered by the DTC to take a completely new perspective on systems biology research, with the knowledge, skills and ability to draw upon a wide range of techniques from multiple disciplines not usually found in any individual researcher. Even at this early stage, we are confident that this approach will yield major advances in this new, exciting, and complex field.

牛津大学系统生物学博士培训中心于2007/8学年初在EPSRC和BBSRC的资助下成立。SYSBIO DTC是牛津博士培训中心内的两个方案之一，另一个是生命科学接口方案(也由EPSRC资助)，该方案成立于2002年，并于2007年续签。SYSBIO DTC为希望在令人兴奋的综合系统生物学这一新的跨学科领域从事研究工作的物理和生命科学毕业生提供了一个全面的培训计划。SYSBIO DTC有自己独特的研究计划，该计划与大学新的综合系统生物学中心(OCISB)的研究计划紧密结合。这两个中心在大学内部共同作用，作为系统生物学迅速扩大和广泛研究活动的焦点和催化剂。SYSBIO DTC的研究重点是开发一种系统的方法，从单个分子水平到整个细胞/有机体水平，弥合理论和实验知识之间的差距。DTC赋予学生对系统生物学研究的全新视角，他们拥有的知识、技能和能力来自多个学科的广泛技术，通常是任何个人研究人员都找不到的。即使在这个早期阶段，我们相信这种方法将在这个新的、令人兴奋的和复杂的领域取得重大进展。
