New Doctoral Training Partnership with White Rose Universities
The White Rose universities of Leeds, Sheffield and York, in partnership with the Research Complex, have won a major £6m award to support a BBSRC joint Doctoral Training Partnership in Mechanistic Biology. This will support training of postgraduate students in molecular bioscience, food security, bioenergy and industrial biotechnology. White Rose students will have access to cutting edge laboratories at the Research Complex, as well as the associated world-class large facilities, such as the Diamond synchrotron, ISIS neutron source and the Central Laser Facility.

The Research Complex at Harwell (RCaH) is a new, multidisciplinary laboratory that provides facilities for researchers to undertake new and cutting edge scientific research in both life and physical sciences and the interface between them. It is located on the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) site on the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, adjacent to Diamond, the new third generation Synchrotron Radiation (SR) source. It is also close to other leading facilities on the campus: the ISIS neutron source, Central Laser Facility, Membrane Protein Laboratory, MRC Mammalian Genetics Unit and Mary Lyon Centre, and a Biological Solid State NMR Facility.
It is open, on a competitive basis, to research teams from UK universities, as well as to Diamond and RAL staff. The MRC is leading the project on behalf of RCUK, in partnership with BBSRC, EPSRC, NERC, STFC and Diamond.
