The programme will cover:
- target identification

- biological structure determination
- medicinal chemistry
- mechanisms of drug action
- development of biomarkers.
The fellowships are available to applicants who have General Medical Council registration, or are eligible for GMC registration. Support includes a clinical salary for three years, PhD fees, research expenses, general training funds and travel costs.
