MRC Doctoral Training Programme in Molecular Pathology and Integrative Medicine

Programme Director: Professor Alan Ashworth FRS

Deputy Directors: Professor Julian Blagg and Dr Janet Shipley

The aim of the Programme is to train students to work at the interface of cutting-edge research in different disciplines so that they gain the skills required to translate basic research discoveries into targeted cancer therapies and patient benefit.

Students will be co-supervised by Supervisors in two different disciplines from cell, molecular and structural biology; systems biology; and molecular pathology. The Programme will train students to integrate skills and knowledge from different fields and gain the confidence to work in a multidisciplinary environment.

This four-year PhD Programme is funded by the Medical Research Council and The Institute of Cancer Research. Before applying, students are strongly advised to view the MRC eligibility criteria.

Applications for PhD studentships beginning October 2012 have now closed. To register your interest in forthcoming opportunities for studentships at the ICR please direct your enquiries to the registry.
