LSI Doctoral Training Centres-University of Oxford

主题总结和中心需求：牛津生命科学接口博士培训中心在LSI提供培训，并促进了支撑三个旗舰应用项目的数学、物理和工程科学技术的前沿研究：EPSRC/MRC联合IRC从医学信号到有用的临床信息；EPSRC/BBSRC/MRC生物纳米技术联合研究小组；以及jif资助的牛津基因功能中心。这些项目都涉及来自物理和生命科学领域的世界领先的理论和实验研究小组之间广泛的跨学科合作。这些项目具有大量的科学重叠和互补性，并且对具有物理科学背景的研究人员有着巨大的需求。每个应用领域都享有来自生物技术、制药和生物医学领域的强大工业支持和合作，并且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中更广泛的生命科学研究问题具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.
