Dundee Training Programme in Integrated Molecular, Cellular and Translational Biology

Students on this programme will participate in multidisciplinary research in cellular regulation, protein modification, infection and immunity, and drug discovery and translation. It will provide training in experimental design, data handling and processing, basic bio-computational skills and ethical standards in scientific research. By the end of year 1, students will have selected their research project and will have three years to carry out and document their research. There will be the option for a placement in year 3, while in year 4 students will be supported in career choices and thesis submission. Flexible funding may be used for paper writing or for students to undertake a project in our Drug Discovery Unit.

The PhD programme will reflect the vision of University of Dundee to drive social change locally and transform lives globally through the creation, sharing and application of knowledge. It will allow a diverse cohort of students to develop research skills and competencies in leadership, management and communication.
