EastBio DTP Committees

Find out about our subcommittees and their members.

Following the EastBio DTP Mid-Term Review, we overhauled the DTP governance structure by setting up separate subcommittees.

Each aims to address a specific aspect of the programme:

  • EDI,
  • industry engagement,
  • recruitment,
  • training and development.

EastBio DTP Committees and members

Each committee includes a minimum of one Management Group member and one Student Representative (and reserves), and will be reporting regularly to the EastBio Management Group.
