X-Net: A UK-wide Cross-Disciplinary Training Network

X-Net训练网络的目标是计算和数学科学与生物医学研究之间的接口，在不同的研究团体之间建立联系。它将提高MRC部门和其他部门跨学科研究者的潜力、质量和影响。X-net将连接不同职业阶段的跨学科研究人员，并向有动力解决我们这个时代最重要的生物医学问题的STEM研究人员揭示职业机会。一个重要的重点将放在大数据和机器学习的关键领域，确定来自STEM背景的个人，他们可以将人工智能和统计专业知识带入生物医学科学。

The X-Net training network targets the interface between computational and mathematical sciences and biomedical research, forging links between disparate research communities. It will enhance the potential, quality and impact of cross-disciplinary investigators across the MRC Unit portfolio and beyond. X-net will connect cross-disciplinary researchers at different career stages and reveal career opportunities to STEM researchers who are motivated to address the most important biomedical questions of our era. One important focus will be on the key areas of big data and machine learning, identifying invdividuals from STEM backgrounds who can bring AI and statistical expertise into biomedical science.
