What you will study

Our PhD in Biosciences and Medicine will enable you to gain a deeper understanding of your chosen research area. Throughout the programme, you’ll enhance your laboratory and analytical skills, acquire a general awareness of contemporary biomedical research, and hone your ability to solve academic and practical problems.

Depending on your research project, you’ll most likely complete extensive laboratory work to generate data that will underpin your final thesis. Some research areas will be primarily or entirely related to the analysis of existing scientific or clinical data sets; however, all projects will require some statistical analysis. Some projects will be entirely conducted at Surrey, whereas others will involve collaboration with UK-based or international institutions.

Our current students are researching topics including:

Combining multi-omic data analysis methods to increase understanding of key diseases, such as diabetes and cancer
Computational approaches to modelling biological systems
Developing the molecular and physiological bases of circadian rhythms, sleep, immunity and cardiovascular disease
Defining the nutritional value of micro- and macro-nutrients
