Champion our ‘One Health, One Medicine’ approach which brings together expertise from a broad range of multidisciplinary areas and collaboration with national and international partners. Complete research over a period of four years (full-time) or eight years (part-time). Embrace a ‘bench to bedside’ philosophy, with the potential to take part in molecular and computational studies as well as clinical trials. Work alongside Surrey’s world-leading researchers who are published in top academic journals, including Nature and The Lancet and regularly give expert media commentaries What you will study 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 Discerning host-pathogen (viruses and bacteria) interactions in health and disease Dissecting the molecular basis of and innovative ways to treat cancer, especially of the prostate Improving disease surveillance and health outcome measurements.
