welcome trust PhD training Program -the university of york



Training the next generation of scientists in quantitative biology to support interdisciplinary research in the biomedical sciencesTraining the next generation of scientists in quantitative biology to support interdisciplinary research in the biomedical sciences


A Four Year Wellcome Trust PhD Training Programme



Research themes
The programme focuses on inter-related research themes that are central to our ability to combat infections:
  • Drug Target Development
  • Predictive Modelling of Pathogenesis and Treatment Response
  • Development of Novel Tools for Complex Data Analysis

Interdisciplinary research environment
The programme is led the Department of Biology with training and research supervision provided by staff from Biology, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Electronics, and the Hull York Medical School. Our research centres provide the strong interdisciplinary research and training environment: Centre for Immunology and Infection (CII), York Structural Biology Lab (YSBL) and York Centre for Complex System Analysis (YCCSA). This provides a unique opportunity to conduct research at the interface of theory and experiment in the area of infectious disease.


Is this the programme for you?
  • Do you have a keen interest in biological problems?
  • Are you excited at the prospect of impacting on our knowledge and treatment of infectious diseases?
  • Have you excelled in your undergraduate degree in any of these or closely related disciplines: Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Electronics, Engineering, Biology?
