NSERC-CREATE TRAINING PROGRAM
IN QUANTITATIVE BIOMEDICINE
AT THE UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA


WELCOME TO TRAINEES OF ALL LEVELS!

The biomedical sciences are at the stage where quantitative methods from
physical sciences and engineering can make a big impact on fundamental and
technological advances. At the same time, computational modeling techniques at
each of these levels have generated deep insights into the biophysical
principles of life as well as into tools for probing biological organization.

We offer an integrated, interdisciplinary training program for undergraduates,
graduates and postdoctoral fellows that brings together physical scientists and
engineers with medical researchers to create an interdisciplinary effort in
quantitative life science and technology that is unique in Canada.



This program falls under the "health and related life sciences and technologies"
area of priority for NSERC. It is grounded in the areas of biological physics,
photonics, photochemistry, systems biology and neuroscience in which the
University of Ottawa has world-class expertise.

Canada's R&D sector needs scientists and engineers with a deep understanding of
current challenges and opportunities in the biomedical sciences, and with the
skills to manage interdisciplinary research teams. The program aims to provide
students and postdoctoral fellows with the broad range of skills required for
addressing these challenges. 

Our training emphasis is placed on tools to probe, manipulate, and simulate
living systems at the molecular, cellular and systems level. The trainees will
benefit from the rich research environment provided by the University of Ottawa,
in particular through its Ottawa Institute of Systems Biology and Center for
Neural Dynamics, as well as by the National Research Council of Canada and the
Ottawa Hospital Research Institutes.

Their training is enhanced by dedicated cross-disciplinary courses, seminar
series, summer schools and short-term research visits to institutes of our
national and international network of collaborators. Our trainees
further receive career development, professional practice, communication, risk
management, and second language training. They are able to address problems at
the interfaces between:

 * The physical and biomedical sciences.
 * The experimental and computational sciences.
 * Different scales of biological organization (molecular, cellular,
   tissue/organ).

Our unique blend of expertises will position our graduates to tap into emerging
biomedical research areas both in academia and in industry.
