We are a PhD training programme, linking together approximately 90 genomics data science group leaders based at five Irish institutions. Expertise within the group spans from statistical modeling and machine learning to the full range of application of genomics. Over the coming four years our research teams will be joined by 100 fully funded PhD students, recruited through this Centre.

Vision: We are training a generation of highly skilled PhD graduates to harness the collective potential of genomics and data science. Through this unique and intensive PhD programme we want to graduate individuals who will have rich and varied career opportunities and, through them, to have transformative economic and societal impacts in Ireland and further afield.

Training Programme: During the first three months all students will be accommodated on the NUI Galway campus. They will undertake an intensive series of short workshops, presented by leading experts in their fields. At the end of this residential training programme students choose projects and relocate to the partner university at which their research project will commence.
