EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Physical Sciences for Health (Sci-Phy-4-Health)

我们将在一个独特的跨学科计划中培养来自不同科学背景的毕业生，该计划结合了物理科学，计算机科学和生物医学，并打破了这些学科之间的界限。他们将应用这种跨学科的培训，以开发新的物理科学研究，以解决英国医疗保健的三个关键挑战：-重建衰老和患病的身体-了解心血管疾病-改善创伤和急救医学研究计划将以多学科教学计划为基础，并通过可转移和项目管理技能培训以及知识转移和科学活动的公众参与来加强。CDT建立在我们在生物医学接口的物理科学家的CDT培训的四年经验，并利用优秀物理科学家的现有和动态研究社区，以他们的能力和对生命科学接口研究的承诺而闻名，与领先的生物医学科学家和临床医生团队一起，与他们已经建立了合作关系。这个新的CDT代表了我们的活动和新的生物医学焦点的演变，同时保留了促进物理科学/生物医学界面文化变革的专业知识，精神和记录，以及培养下一代研究人员发展探索生物学和医疗保健新物理科学所需的技能和经验。没有感知到的文化和语言障碍。CDT解决了我们的工业合作伙伴对博士科学家的需求，这些科学家在生物学和医学的界面上接受过培训，并且能够跨这些学科进行交流和研究，他们是灵活和创新的工作者，可以随着公司优先事项的发展和变化在项目和专业之间移动。我们的工业伙伴对我们的投标的参与和承诺反映了这一需要。他们将共同资助学生，提供实习和实地考察，作为培训的一部分提供讲座，并监督培训方案并提供咨询意见。该计划还将受益于公共部门的参与，包括钻石光源，当地医院和智库科学博物馆。

We will train cohorts of graduates from different scientific backgrounds together in a unique interdisciplinary programme that combines physical sciences, computer sciences and biomedicine and breaks down the boundaries between these disciplines. They will apply this interdisciplinary training to develop underpinning new physical science research to address three key UK healthcare challenges:- Rebuilding the ageing and diseased body- Understanding cardiovascular disease- Improving trauma and emergency medicineThe research programme will be underpinned by a multi-disciplinary taught programme and enhanced by transferable and project management skills training, as well as Knowledge Transfer and Public Engagement of Science activities. The CDT builds on our four years experience of CDT training of physical scientists at the biomedical interface and harnesses the existing and dynamic research community of excellent physical scientists, distinguished for their ability to and commitment to research at the life science interface, together with a team of leading biomedical scientists and clinicians, with whom there are already established collaborations. This new CDT represents an evolution in our activities and new biomedical foci, while retaining the expertise, ethos and track record of promoting a change in culture at the Physical Science / Biomedicine interface, and of nurturing the next generation of researchers to develop the skills and experience required to explore new physical sciences for biology and healthcare, without the perceived cultural and language barriers.The CDT addresses an identified need from our industrial partners for PhD scientists trained at the interface with biology and medicine, and able to communicate and research across these disciplines, such that they are flexible and innovative workers who can move between projects and indeed disciplines as company priorities evolve and change. This need is reflected in the involvement in and commitment to our bid from our industrial partners. They will co-fund students, offer placements and site-visits, deliver lectures as part of the training and monitor and advise on the training programme. The programme will also benefit from public sector involvement including the Diamond Light Source, local hospitals and Thinktank Science Museum.
