About A post-doctoral level Programme for physicists, chemists, mathematicians, statisticians, engineers, computer scientists etc. seeking training to become leaders in Quantitative Biomedicine. Cross-disciplinary Partnership The XDF Programme partners the School of Informatics with the Institute of Genetics and Cancer to train genuinely cross-disciplinary researchers. Challenges for Quantitative Biomedicine Biomedical data have already attained a scale, diversity and potential that are unprecedented. Programme Fellows Analytically minded people with unique skillsets. Training resources Tutorials, books, courses and other educational resources. Programme activities Scientific events, social meetups, projects, publications and more. Programme directors The programme will be led by a board of Directors who will provide Fellows with diverse perspectives. Advice and FAQs Frequently asked questions and other useful information. Research in Edinburgh Interdisciplinarity and innovation lies at the heart of the University. Cross-disciplinary research environment Systems biology must be embedded in a cross-disciplinary environment with biologists, chemists, computer scientists, engineers, mathematicians, physicists, and physicians. Our fundamental mantra is that leading-edge systems biology should drive the development of relevant technologies, and these, in turn, should push the creation of the necessary computational tools for handling the relevant data (often big data). These approaches have transformed our understanding of biological complexity.
