LSI Doctoral Training Centres-University of Oxford

中心的主题和需求摘要：牛津生命科学接口博士培训中心在大规模集成电路提供培训，并促进数学、物理和工程科学技术方面的前沿研究，这些技术是三个旗舰应用项目的基础：EPSRC/MRC IRC从医学信号到有用的临床信息；联合EPSRC/BBSRC/MRC IRC在生物科技方面；以及JIF资助的牛津基因功能中心。每个项目都涉及世界领先的理论和实验研究小组之间广泛的跨学科合作，这些研究小组来自物理和生命科学领域。这些项目具有很大的科学重叠性和互补性，对具有物理科学背景的研究人员有着巨大的需求。每个应用领域都得到了生物技术、制药和生物医学部门的大力支持和合作，对具有物理科学背景但对这些工业部门和更广泛的学术界的生命科学研究中更广泛的问题有欣赏和理解的研究人员的需求是巨大的。

Summary of themes and need for Centre: The Oxford Life Sciences Interface Doctoral Training Centre provides training at the LSI, and facilitates leading-edge research, in the mathematical, physical and engineering science techniques that underpin three flagship application projects: the joint EPSRC/MRC IRC From Medical Signals to Useful Clinical Information ; the joint EPSRC/BBSRC/MRC IRC in Bionanotechnology; and the JIF-funded Oxford Centre for Gene Function. These projects each involve extensive interdisciplinary collaborations between world-leading theoretical and experimental research groups drawn from across the physical and life sciences. These projects have substantial scientific overlap and complementarily, and share an enormous demand for researchers from a physical science background. Each of the application areas enjoys strong industrial support and collaborations from across the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and biomedical sectors, and the demand for researchers with a physical sciences background but with an appreciation and understanding of the wider issues in life science research both within these industrial sectors and within the wider academic community, is huge.
