Learn about the Precision Medicine PhD programme and its iCASE studentships, their potential benefits, and how they can help you and your research.

The Precision Medicine Doctoral Training Programme is a PhD with integrated study at the Universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, funded by the Medical Research Council, and provides an excellent way to add a highly skilled PhD student to your lab. The programme supports research training at the interfaces between biological, clinical, societal, and computational systems. A key component of the programme is iCASE, which enables academics to link with businesses and related organisations to provide an enhanced PhD experience of collaborative research for a student with a non‐academic partner.

Supervising an iCASE PhD project can also be an excellent opportunity to build relationships with industrial partners and open the door to further translational funding.

During this session you will:

1. Gain an insight into the iCASE scheme and how it works, and how you can take advantage of it.
2. Hear the benefits from the perspective of a PI, but also for your student.
3. Learn about the internal support available within the University of Edinburgh that can help you find a partner and assist in the application process.
4. Gain and understanding into how this opportunity can lead to further opportunities within the sphere of translational research.

Teas, Coffees & Biscuits will be provided

This event will be held both in person & live streamed
