Cellular Structural Biology (360G-Wellcome-218482_Z_19_Z)
Structural biology continues to provide one of the most important toolsets for molecular biosciences. It also underlies many crucial industries, supporting biomedical advances in drug and vaccine development and molecular engineering. It continues to develop at pace. The recent electron cryo-microscopy revolution has been transformative and advances in tomographic methods prove likely to soon bridge the gap between molecular and cellular levels. It is essential that we train cohorts of students with these tools. We aim to provide outstanding broad training in structural biology methods, while students conduct exciting research projects. We expect these cohorts to contain future academic research leaders, who apply structural biology to important cellular systems and/or contribute to development of methodologies. We aim to train future leaders of industry, equipping them for research and development. Our program will also prepare students for a wide range of other future careers, providing project management experience, programming skills, and the experience of working in a precise and numerically rigorous scientific field. We will equip and support our students to transition to careers in academia, industry and beyond, while ensuring that we train a cohort to continue to apply and to develop structural biology into the future.
