This is a Doctoral Training Programme (DTP) in Precision Medicine jointly run between the Universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow with a completed award of a PhD with integrated study.
Precision medicine is a transformational approach to disease treatment and prevention, focusing on identifying which strategy will be effective for which patients based on genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Put most simply, it means giving the right treatment to the right patient at the right time.
This approach integrates evidence from advanced data on a myriad of clinical samples along with the individual genomics, e-record, imaging, and other data-rich -omic parameters to enable discovery and tailored therapies.
We aim to train a generation of scientists who can excel in state-of-the-art interrogation of genetic and other 'omic' information and in developing and utilising analytical methodologies to provide evidence to improve health and well-being.
You will learn to develop quantitative research creativity for use in your future careers in fast moving disciplines, as biomedical science embraces new data-rich opportunities.
Our collaborative programme provides state-of-the-art training in:
- informatics
- data analytics
- genetics
- genomics
- epidemiology
- clinical populations
- clinical tissue and ‘liquid biopsy’ interrogation
- molecular pathology
Hypotheses generated, including novel disease mechanisms and drivers, are tested in the most appropriate disease models.
