The CGEBM recruited its first cohort of graduate students early in 2013. These genomics enabled studentships include informatics and biology focused projects in ecology, evolution, agriculture, microbiology, nutrition and human disease within world leading research teams in the University. The CGEBM will further support the personal and scientific development of their student cohorts through provision of an extended training programme in genomics and critical scientific skills.
Current studentships include;
