PHD PROGRAMME IN COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY Jorge Carneiro Head PhD in Biomedicine, Universidade do Porto, 1997 PI of Quantitative Organism Biology Group The PhD Programme in Computational Biology (PDBC) is a pilot graduate programme that aims to create a critical mass of researchers in computational biology, to act as future leaders in the field. To this end it operates in close association with its twin initiative, the Collaboratorium in Computational Biology. It is sponsored by the Portuguese Ministry for Science and Technology, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, and Siemens Portugal SA. The PDBC was launched in 2005, has a definitive lifespan and was planned to educate four generations of 12 students per year. Education is organised as a four-year programme divided into a year of full-time courses, workshops and projects, covering the main aspects of computational biology from the biological, computational, mathematical, chemical and physical points of view, and three years of research training in a recognised laboratory anywhere in the world, including Portugal. Non-national citizens were accepted but their research training was restricted to Portuguese research labs. The choice of laboratory was left to the student but met the standards set by the Programme Direction. SUPPORT STAFF Cláudio Soares (ITQB, Deputy Director) Manuela Cordeiro (Administrative Assistant) FUNDING Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT), Portugal Siemens Portugal, SA Calouste Gulbenkain Foundation, Portugal PT Foundation, Portugal Fundação Luso-Americana para o Desenvolvimento (FLAD), Portugal Fundação para a Computação Científica Nacional (FCCN), Portugal The PDBC has come of age and all 41 students are carrying out their research training in labs in Europe and beyond, and eight (Inês de Jesus, José Cruz, Nuno Mendes, Marcio Mourão, Sara da Silva, Pedro Monteiro, Bruno Correia, and Luis Figueiredo) have obtained their doctoral degree. Information on the individual students, and completed theses, can be found on the programme’s website. IGC ANNUAL REPORT ‘11 GRADUATE TRAINING AND EDUCATION 126
INDP - INTERNATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE DOCTORAL PROGRAMME Zachary Mainen Head PhD in Neurosciences, University of California, San Diego, 1995 PI of Systems Neuroscience Group The INDP aims at providing students with a broad and integrative education in neuroscience with a focus on the neuronal and circuit basis of behaviour. A main goal of the programme is to foster and encourage active participation, independence and critical thinking on the part of the students. In the first year of the programme, students attend courses structured as modules lasting one or a few weeks, which cover basic topics in contemporary neuroscience such as basic cellular and synaptic physiology, sensation and action and cognitive neuroscience. Quantitative approaches are emphasised and students also receive background courses on basic biology, mathematics and programming. The next three years are dedicated to research on a specific topic leading to a PhD thesis. No previous background in neuroscience is required, but candidates with a background in biology or quantitative disciplines are encouraged to apply.
