Interested in studying bioinformatics on a part-time basis at one of the world's most famous universities?  Half of the people studying with the Oxford Bioinformatics Programme do not reside or work in the UK. Our Postgraduate Certificate in Bioinformatics only requires students to be in Oxford for two weeks in a year.  We also have a part-time Master's and a selection of online and one-week face-to-face courses.

Our Online Open Day on Friday 25th April will provide you with an invaluable insight into studying bioinformatics at the University of Oxford.  Between 9am and 11am (Pacific Daylight Saving Time) / 12 midday and 2pm (Eastern Daylight Saving Time) online discussion forums will take place with the Academic Director, Dr Andrew Dalby, the course administrative team, as well as current and past students. 

In addition to these discussion forums, throughout the day you will be able to view and download course content as well as application packs and other student resources.

All participants will be entered in to a prize draw to win a £100 discount on a module.  There are five prizes available.

This Ph.D Programme is for Graduate Students in Biology, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and Medicine. Prospective students should have an excellent score in their previous classes, a strong undergraduate science background, a strong commitment to research and they should accept the challenge posed by a new interdisciplinary science. Indeed the present Programme is specifically interested in recruiting students with broad scientific interests and a taste for collaboration.

The Programme is designed to offer scientific training, research projects and perspectives in the area of post-genomic biology by using combined computational, engineering and experimental approaches with theoretical modelling, rooted in theoretical physics and mathematics. The biological interests include cell differentiation and development, cell signalling, cell growth and motility, cancer progression, cancer cell genetics, protein folding, gene-expression.

The Integrative Biology Graduate Program fosters training in research areas focused on understanding the molecular and cellular basis of integrated biological systems. The Integrative Biology Graduate Program (IBGP) promotes effective cross-disciplinary research involving approximately sixty faculty members in basic science and clinical departments with the goal of training students for careers as independent investigators. Some areas of research interests in this program include response and adaptation to physiological (exercise, microgravity, and pregnancy), and pathological (hypertension inflammatory and immune diseases, diabetes, sepsis, and cancer) stresses. Specific areas of investigation address cell-cell signaling, including the basis of fertilization, exocrine secretion, renal tubular transport, gene regulation in development and differentiation, regulation of cardiovascular function and metabolism, regulation of muscle contraction and protein turnover, sensory regulation of behavior, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, and tumor biology.

The Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, housed in the Carl Icahn Laboratory at Princeton University, was established to innovate in research and teaching at the interface of modern biology and the more quantitative sciences. The Institute is the hub of the Center for Quantitative Biology, funded by the the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

The Tri-Institutional Program in Computational Biology & Medicine (CBM) is a collaboration between three outstanding research and educational institutions: Cornell University (both the Ithaca campus and the Weill Graduate School of Medical Sciences), The Rockefeller University, and Sloan-Kettering Institute. This highly selective program offers Ph.D. degrees in the newly emerging field of Computational Biology and Medicine, at the interface between biology, mathematics, and computer science. The combined resources of these world-leading institutions create an unparalleled interdisciplinary environment for excellence in CBM. The program strongly encourages collaboration among the campuses and the different disciplines.
