CDT)&nbsp;is a multi-disciplinary doctoral training programme in biological physics based at King's College London.&nbsp;</p> <p>The programme is funded by the King's Centre for Doctoral Studies. Our focus&nbsp;is to understand how complex macroscopic phenomena&mdash;observed at scales&nbsp;appropriate to tissue, organism, or even population&mdash;arise from mechanisms at the cellular, molecular, and atomic level. This programme will give students the tools and skills they need to integrate knowledge across different length and time scales to bring new understanding to the mechanisms underlying&nbsp;the physics of life.&nbsp;</p> <h3>Who is it for?</h3> <p>The CDT is made up of physical scientists&mdash;physicists, chemists,&nbsp;mathematicians, and related disciplines&mdash;who are&nbsp;fascinated by the complexity of biological systems. All students are co-supervised by a physical scientist and a life scientist for truly interdisciplinary training at the physics-biology interface.&nbsp;</p> <p>Students develop experimental and theoretical/computational methodologies to gain insight into fundamental unanswered questions in biology, in fields ranging from immunology to stem cell biology and neuroscience. Ultimately, studnts are trained to work successfully across the boundaries of traditional disciplines, scales, and methodologies and bring your expertise and innovation skills into the thriving and expanding life sciences realm, both in academia and industry.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <div class="block block--faculty block--promo mb-0"> <section class="container-fluid"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-4 col-lg-3"> <article class="card article-item match-height"> <a class="d-block" href="https://www.kcl.ac.uk/nmes/research/bipas-cdt#people" title="BiPAS People"> <img class="img-fluid" src="/newimages/nmes/bipas-leadership-cropped-368x208.jpg" alt="BiPAS People" width="" height=""> </a> <div class="card-body card-body--padded"> <h3 class="article-item__title"> <a class="d-block" href="https://www.kcl.ac.uk/nmes/research/bipas-cdt#people" title="BiPAS People">People</a> </h3> <p class="article-item__excerpt">Meet our team.</p> </div> </article> </div> <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-4 col-lg-3"> <article class="card article-item match-height"> <a class="d-block" href="https://www.kcl.ac.uk/nmes/research/bipas-cdt#projects" title="bipas-projects"> <img class="img-fluid" src="/newimages/nmes/thumbnail-news-events-380x229/bibas-projects-cropped-368x208.jpg" alt="bipas-projects" width="" height=""> </a> <div class="card-body card-body--padded"> <h3 class="article-item__title"> <a class="d-block" href="https://www.kcl.ac.uk/nmes/research/bipas-cdt#projects" title="bipas-projects">Projects</a> </h3> <p class="article-item__excerpt">Discover available projects.</p> </div> </article> </div> <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-4 col-lg-3"> <article class="card article-item match-height"> <a class="d-block" href="https://www.kcl.ac.uk/nmes/research/bipas-cdt#apply" title="bipas-apply"> <img class="img-fluid" src="/newimages/laptopondesk-cropped-368x208.jpg" alt="bipas-apply" width="" height=""> </a> <div class="card-body card-body--padded"> <h3 class="article-item__title"> <a class="d-block" href="https://www.kcl.ac.uk/nmes/research/bipas-cdt#apply" title="bipas-apply">How to apply</a> </h3> <p class="article-item__excerpt">How to apply to BiPAS CDT.</p> </div> </article> </div> <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-4 col-lg-3"> <article class="card article-item match-height"> <a class="d-block" href="https://www.kcl.ac.uk/nmes/research/bipas-cdt#seminars" title="bipas-seminars"> <img class="img-fluid" src="/newimages/nmes/bipas-seminars-cropped-368x208.jpg" alt="bipas-seminars" width="" height=""> </a> <div class="card-body card-body--padded"> <h3 class="article-item__title"> <a class="d-block" href="https://www.kcl.ac.uk/nmes/research/bipas-cdt#seminars" title="bipas-seminars">Seminars</a> </h3> <p class="article-item__excerpt">Seminars in Biological Physics.</p> </div> </article> </div> </div> </section> </div> <h3><a id="leadership"></a>Leadership team</h3> <section class="block block--people-listing"> <ul class="list list--inline" role="list"> <li role="listitem"> <a class="block--people-listing__photo" href="/people/sergi-garcia-manyes" title="Professor Sergi Garcia-Manyes"> <img src="/newimages/folsm/person-profile/bmb/sergi-garcia-manyes.x441fe45c.png?f=webp" alt="Professor Sergi Garcia-Manyes" width="160" height="160" class="img-fluid" /> </a> <h4><a href="/people/sergi-garcia-manyes" title="Professor Sergi Garcia-Manyes">Professor Sergi Garcia-Manyes</a></h4> <p>Mechanics of Life Leverhulme DSP &amp; BiPAS CDT Director</p> </li> <li role="listitem"> <a class="block--people-listing__photo" href="/people/carla-molteni" title="Professor Carla Molteni"> <img src="/importedimages/schools/nms/women-in-science/carla-molteni.x183520ce.jpg?w=161&h=161&crop=160,160,1,0&f=webp" alt="Professor Carla Molteni" width="160" height="160" class="img-fluid" /> </a> <h4><a href="/people/carla-molteni" title="Professor Carla Molteni">Professor Carla Molteni</a></h4> <p>Co-Director BiPAS CDT</p> </li> <li role="listitem"> <a class="block--people-listing__photo" href="/people/ismael-diez-perez" title="Professor Ismael D&#237;ez-P&#233;rez"> <img src="/importedimages/schools/nms/chemistry/staff-headshots/diez-perez-ismael-v2.xb49ac190.jpg?w=160&h=241&crop=160,160,0,9&f=webp" alt="Professor Ismael D铆ez-P茅rez" width="160" height="160" class="img-fluid" /> </a> <h4><a href="/people/ismael-diez-perez" title="Professor Ismael D&#237;ez-P&#233;rez">Professor Ismael D&#237;ez-P&#233;rez</a></h4> <p>Co-Director BiPAS CDT</p> </li> </ul> </section> <div class="block block--pagination"></div> <h3><a id="projects"></a>Projects</h3> <p>BiPAS PhD students use physical sciences methodologies to answer fundamental questions in the life sciences. All projects concentrate on addressing challenging biological problems with a multi-scale character. Through a co-supervision model that immerses students in both the physical and life sciences, students become highly skilled researchers, equipped with multidisciplinary and transferrable skills and positioned to produce ground-breaking original research that will push the frontiers of biological physics.</p> <br /> <h3><a id="apply"></a>How to apply</h3> <p>The BiPAS CDT is no longer recruiting new students.
