Cohort 3 (2021-2025)
Supplementing their research with the additional training the MoSMed CDT provides, Cohort 3 have successfully advanced into the third year of their PhDs. Building on the skills and knowledge gained during years one and two, Cohort 3 will continue to move forwards with their research while making use of the opportunities the CDT provides, including extra training and exciting events.
