If given the choice between LIDo and any other doctoral training program, I choose LIDo every time
The LIDo Programme has revolutionised my view of modern biomedical research. It pushed me to step outside of my comfort zone and to explore research areas which I never considered to enjoy beforehand. My PhD project made me look at large biological datasets in a computational way and I do not regret a single thing I learned on my deep learning journey
LIDo cultivates a close relationship with the wider life sciences and technology industries to advise upon and guide our outreach activities and student awareness of tracks outside of academia, including entrepreneurial opportunities.
LIDo was perfect for me, because of its interdisciplinarity and the opportunities it offered!
LIDo helped me discover a new career path and learn new skills, that I never thought I would be interested in. LIDo has encouraged me to take more risks and experience new sides of research.
LIDo provides a fantastic training environment for cross-disciplinary research
LIDo is like a huge extended family, everyone is willing to help each other out and offer advice which is particularly important when you’re faced with challenges in your research!
The best decision I ever made!
I never thought debating would be helpful to a researcher, but after a LIDo provided debate workshop I felt much more comfortable answering questions at a recent conference!
LIDo gave me the confidence to pursue a PhD in a field I would never have considered before. The sense of community the programme has to offer is second to none, fostering solid friendships and providing a platform to encourage one another along our journeys, both in and out of the lab.
From LIDo to Leaders in modern biomedicine
