Genomic Medicine and Statistics

Genomic Medicine and Statistics (GMS) is a four-year doctoral training programme at the University of Oxford. Our goal is to train future leaders in the application of genomics to advance human health, equipping them with skills that span experimental and analytical genomic science. We will do this through a cross-disciplinary approach addressing core themes including genomic and -omic technologies, functional genomics, genome biology, population genetics, evolution, pathogen genomics, genomics of disease, genomic analysis, and application of genomics for drug development, diagnostics, precision medicine and therapy. 

We will recruit students from diverse backgrounds with a track record of academic excellence. The first year will provide necessary core skills with a minimum of two three-month rotations to gain train in different environments before deciding on the doctoral research topic. 

We will deliver a student-focused training experience with world-class training, supervision and pastoral support and we will actively manage student transitions including internships with partner organisations.
