The Cambridge Biosciences Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) is funded by the Doctoral Landscape Awards under UKRI. The programme is a partnership between four internationally leading research organisations — the University of Cambridge, the Babraham Institute, the National Institute of Agricultural Botany (NIAB), and the Wellcome Sanger Institute (WSI)— and UK Research and Innovation: Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (UKRI BBSRC). Together, we are dedicated to developing the next generation of bioscience leaders.
Expanding Partnerships and Research Opportunities
Our recent partnerships with the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) and Kew Gardens introduce exciting co-supervision opportunities for interdisciplinary projects.
Training Future Innovators
As global challenges demand skilled bioscientists, the Cambridge DTP provides a vibrant, inclusive environment for students to pursue cutting-edge research and prepare for impactful careers across academia, industry, government, and the non-profit sector.
Strategic Location and Industry Connections
Situated in Europe’s largest bioscience hub, our programme offers valuable industry connections through partnerships with Agri-TechE and One Nucleus, enabling students to gain experience and build networks. The DTP also serves as an entry point for external collaborations, driving impactful industry-academia partnerships.
