Training the next generation of interdisciplinary scientists
Recruitment for the iCM PhD programme ended in 2024
About the iCM PhD programme
To address the training need for scientists who have been trained across the distinct disciplines of natural sciences, engineering, informatics and mathematics. iCM PhD projects are cross-disciplinary involving two primary supervisors with complementary expertise. Supervisor partnerships pair quantitative scientists with cell biologists ensuring that students develop pioneering cross-disciplinary collaborative projects to uncover cellular mechanisms relevant to health and disease.
Funded by Wellcome and the University of Edinburgh thirty students from a variety of scientific backgrounds were recruited to the programme.
The first cohort of students graduated in 2024.
