Overview
This is achieved by pursuing an integrated scientific programme, using unbiased systems approaches to examine the effects of exposure to chemicals, radiation and external biological agents. Toxicology research in the Unit impacts on major areas of socioeconomic importance, namely drug development and diseases that result from exposure to both endogenous toxic agents and environmental hazards.
Features
- The Unit's overall aims are to carry out pioneering research which leads to improved health and to train and mentor the next generation of toxicologists.
- Every year the Biological Science (MRC Toxicology) PhD Programme at University of Cambridge gives new students the opportunity to do cutting-edge research. At the Unit, we aim to train the scientific leaders of the future: we seek the best students, give them rewarding research projects and provide a supportive environment with access to world-class facilities and expertise.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- Students receive toxicology-specific training in the Unit and through the Integrated Toxicology Training Partnership (ITTP). Within the Unit, the students attend the weekly seminar series, which covers a range of topics pertinent to the basic science that underpins modern toxicology research.
- Students also participate in the programme that is administered by the Postdoctoral and Postgraduate Committee.
- This programme comprises research talks given by students and early career stage postdoctoral research fellows, workshops on broad topics (e.g. "how to manage your supervisor", practical grant/fellowship writing etc) and seminars from high-profile external speakers who discuss their research careers, in addition to their science.
