Doctoral Training Centre - Integrative Systems Biology
Introduction
Our Doctoral Training Centre Integrative Systems Biology at the University of Manchester trains students for a PhD in Systems Biology. It is one of three UK Systems Biology training centres in funded by the British research councils EPSRC and BBSRC. We are based in the brand new Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre, which is populated by expert staff with experience and expertise in molecular, cell and medical systems biology.
The University of Manchester is uniquely positioned to offer a sense of novelty and making new things possible as a result of the merger of two research-intensive Universities: UMIST and the Victoria University of Manchester. The University was voted top graduate employment university in the UK and its Careers Service was also voted as the best among British universities. In addition we have direct links to relevant industries (AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Unilever, etc.).
Presently the DTC does not offer studenships and we do not process applications. For a list of Systems Biology related PhD projects within the University of Manchester please see the DTP website.
