supported by The Wellcome Trust, will provide an exciting training opportunity to acquire multidisciplinary skills to develop and then apply modelling to biological and clinical problems at the molecular and cellular levels. The programme aims to facilitate
discipline hopping into this area and we welcome undergraduates from biological and medical sciences, physical sciences, mathematics, statistics, engineering and computing. The course will enable you, whatever your first degree, to acquire the breadth of skills
to undertake stimulating research using theoretical systems biology and bioinformatics to advance biological and clinical research. As a member of the programme you will join a large community at Imperial applying modelling to study biological and biomedical
problems.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="m5812177065266062846msonospacing"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">You will begin your studies by being registered on our highly-successful, year-long MSc in Bioinformatics and Theoretical Systems Biology. This course starts with
training and you will acquire core biological, computational and mathematics skills and have lectures in bioinformatics and theoretical systems biology. This is followed by three different rotation projects which enable you to discover and experience different
modelling methodologies and experimental laboratory environments. During the first year you will benefit from working with many other students studying for this MSc. The subsequent three PhD years will involve research developing novel theoretical methodologies
and applying them to solve biological and biomedical problems. You will have two supervisors throughout your PhD – one theoretical and one experimental – to provide multidisciplinary training. You will have an opportunity to spend time with the experimental
group so you understand the data-generating protocols and you can undertake laboratory work to test hypotheses generated from your modelling. We will offer you a wide range of research topics for your PhD as Imperial College has many vibrant research groups
working in theoretical systems biology and bioinformatics and their application to bioscience and biomedical problems.
