About

The Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry (FMD) at Queen Mary University of London is proud to partner with Barts Charity to delivery an innovative Doctoral Training Programme (DTP) that is focused on developing the next generation of biomedical researchers, whose focus will be on improving the health of East Londoners. 

This 4-year PhD programme will recruit five new students per year for the next five years. They will join a cohort-based PhD programme where, as well as tackling their own research projects, students will be brought together as a group, for training sessions and to provide a more supportive environment.

Community engagement will be a cornerstone of the programme, which, combined with a cutting-edge research training programme, will equip the next generation of researchers to deliver new treatments targeted at improving health for our local population.

The Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry is excited to launch this Doctoral Training Programme with Barts Charity, to support the development of researchers focused on health inequalities and disease experienced by the people of East London.
— Professor Paul Chapple, Programme Co-Director, Barts Charity Doctoral Training Programme
This next generation of biomedical researchers will investigate and understand the complex health needs of our East London community, develop innovative solutions, and contribute new insights to their fields. We look forward to working with Queen Mary on this locally-relevant PhD programme – which will deliver real health benefits to East London.
