EPSRC CDT in Chemical Biology

The EPSRC CDT in Chemical Biology - Empowering UK BioTech Innovation trains postgraduate researchers at the interface between the physical and life sciences, who are able to embrace Lab of the Future platforms

The mission of the ICB CDT is to train postgraduate researchers with the language, knowledge and skills to enable them to work at the interface between the physical and life sciences, producing researchers with expertise and understanding that spans both fields, and who are able to embrace Lab of the Future platforms, which is at the heart of our remit. This will transform our understanding of molecular mechanisms of disease, stimulate novel agrochemical design and underpin structured product breakthroughs, whilst also enabling fundamental discovery in the life and medical sciences.
