We are passionate about training researchers who will help to lessen the burden of cancer on the individual and on society. We believe that the integration of biology, engineering and physical sciences will pave the path for new discoveries to promote cancer patient survival or improve their quality of life. We call this unique integration of diverse disciplines Convergence Science; it is distinct to cross-disciplinary or interdisciplinary approaches wherein disciplinary language barriers continue to exist. Our convergence approach paves a path towards breaking down language barriers such that researchers from diverse backgrounds can truly coalesce around a common goal. 

We currently have four programmes for non-clinical convergence science PhD studentships. Each programme will vary and have different timelines so please see the programme specific information for more details.
