Cohort 3 (2021-2025)
Enhancing their research with the additional training the MoSMed CDT provides, Cohort 3 have successfully advanced into the fourth and final year of their PhDs. They will now work to complete their research and write up their theses ready for submission, while continuing to take advantage of the training and events offered by the CDT to supplement their studies.
