Life Sciences Interface Doctoral Training Centre

LSI DTC提供全面的培训方案，并促进数学、物理和工程科学技术方面的前沿研究，这些技术支撑着大学内生命科学接口的四个相互关联的应用领域：主要基于物理系的生物科学技术领域的EPSRC/BBSRC IRC联合项目产生的生物物理学；主要基于工程科学系的EPSRC/MRC IRC联合项目产生的医学成像和信号：从医学图像和信号到主要基于工程科学系的有用的临床信息；与牛津大学基因功能中心链接的数学遗传学和生物信息学；以及由综合生物学e-Science试点项目产生的计算生物学，以及基于计算实验室的计算生物学。每个应用领域和相关小组都参与了与整个大学的生命科学和临床同事的广泛跨学科合作，更广泛地说，每个领域都代表着东道主和大学的一个关键战略研究方向。在所有四个研究领域，工业界和学术界对训练有素的研究人员的需求都非常强劲，DTC对该计划有非常强大的工业投入，包括一个以行业为基础的试点D.Phil计划。

The LSI DTC provides a comprehensive training programme, and facilitates leading-edge research, in the mathematical, physical, and engineering science techniques that underpin four interlinked application areas at the Life Sciences Interface within the University: biological physics arising from the joint EPSRC/BBSRC IRC in Bionanotechnology based primarily in the Physics Department; medical imaging and signals arising from the joint EPSRC/MRC IRC: From Medical Images and Signals to Useful Clinical Information based primarily in the Engineering Science Department; mathematical genetics and bioinformatics linked to the Oxford Centre for Gene Function and based in the Statistics Department; and Computational Biology arising from the Integrative Biology e-Science Pilot Project and based in the Computing Laboratory. Each of these application areas and associated groups are involved in extensive interdisciplinary collaborations with life sciences and clinical colleagues across the University, and more widely, and each represents a key strategic research direction for both the host depaitinents and the University. Demand for trained researchers in both industry and academia is very strong in all four research areas, and the DTC has very strong industrial input into the programme, including a pilot industry-based D. Phil programme.
