LSI DTCs 2007: Physical sciences of imaging in the biomedical sciences (PSIBS)

PSIBS博士培训中心（DTC）将专注于发展成像的物理科学和图像数据的计算分析，以解决生物和生物医学科学中的关键问题。N111和英国研究委员会都强调了成像对生物科学和医学的重要性。英国各行各业对这些技能的人才的需求明显增长，业务重点（提案第3节）。这反映在他们参与这个PSIBSDTC和他们对培训的贡献。培训学生群体，而不是单独资助的学生的两个主要好处是：（1）PSIBS多学科教学计划，将提升传统的英国学士学位水平的单一学科毕业生的技能和知识基础，以支持和实现跨学科博士研究。(ii)学生将与其他PSIBS学生和许多PSIBS学者建立广泛的跨学科联系和网络，这将贯穿他们未来的研究生涯。成像技术的发展速度比标准的赠款周转时间更快，在大量专家的支持下，进行响应性强的博士研究将使我们能够（a）迅速作出反应，（B）进行尖端研究，以对抗海外竞争对手（建议第4条）。

The PSIBS Doctoral Training Centre (DTC) will focus on the development of the physical sciences of imaging and the computational analysis of image data to address key problems in the biological and biomedical sciences.The importance of Imaging to Bioscience and Medicine has been highlighted both by the N111 and the UK research councils.There is art apparent and growing need for people with these skills within UK industries with diverse business focuses (proposal section 3). This is reflected by their involvement in this PSIBS DTC and their contributions to the training.Two key benefits of training cohorts of students rather than individually funded students are: (1) The PSIBS multi-disciplinary taught programme that will upgrade the skill- and knowledge-base of traditional UK bachelors-level single-discipline graduates to underpin and enable cross-disciplinary PhD research. (ii) The students will develop extensive and cross-disciplinary links and networks, both with other PSIBS students and the many PSIBS academics, which will persist throughout their future research careers.Imaging technology is evolving faster than the standard grant turnaround time and dynamic, responsive PhD research within a critical mass of experts will enable (a) rapid response and (b) cutting edge research against our overseas competitors (proposal section 4).
