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。英国不同商业重点的行业对具有这些技能的人的需求明显增加(提案第3节)。这一点体现在他们对PSIBS DTC的参与和他们对培训的贡献。培训学生群体而不是个人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单学科学士水平毕业生的技能和知识基础，以支持和支持跨学科博士研究。(Ii)学生将与其他PSIBS学生和许多PSIBS学者发展广泛和跨学科的联系和网络，这种联系和网络将持续到他们未来的研究生涯。成像技术的发展速度快于标准的拨款周转时间，在关键的专家群体中进行动态、反应迅速的博士研究将使(A)快速反应和(B)针对我们的海外竞争对手进行尖端研究(提案第4节)。

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).
