Life Sciences Interface Doctoral Training Centre

LSI DTC提供全面的培训计划，并促进数学，物理和工程科学技术的前沿研究，这些技术支持大学内生命科学接口的四个相互关联的应用领域：生物物理学，主要基于物理系的生物纳米技术中的联合EPSRC/BBSRC IRC;医学成像和信号，来自联合EPSRC/MRC IRC：从医学图像和信号到有用的临床信息，主要基于工程科学系;数学遗传学和生物信息学与牛津基因功能中心联系在一起，并位于统计学系;计算生物学源于综合生物学电子科学试点项目，并位于计算实验室。每个应用领域和相关小组都与整个大学的生命科学和临床同事进行了广泛的跨学科合作，并且更广泛地，每个应用领域和相关小组都代表了主办部门和大学的关键战略研究方向。工业界和学术界对所有四个研究领域的训练有素的研究人员的需求都非常强劲，DTC为该计划提供了非常强大的工业投入，包括一个以工业为基础的试点D。菲尔节目

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.
