Our department has research strengths in gastrointestinal, neuroimmune, musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory systems as well as developmental biology. Our goal is to drive excellence in teaching and provide a rich educational environment in which to mentor the next generation of scientists.
It is the Department's general goal to introduce and foster the most up-to-date development in the study of anatomy, physiology, behavior, biomechanics, and cell biology; to maintain educational, research and service programs of the highest quality, pertaining to animal health and disease; and to promote excellence and originality in advancing the knowledge and techniques of cellular and physiological mechanisms of organ function as an interdisciplinary focus for research and application in the areas of:
The DPhil (a PhD at other universities) in Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics offers a wide range of research topics within a large multi-disciplinary and world-renowned department, spanning a diverse spectrum of research areas from neuroscience, cardiac science, ion channels transporters and signalling, metabolism and endocrinology, development and reproduction to neurobiology of sleep and circadian rhythms.
In the first instance, applicants are advised to identify potential supervisors in Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics, based on their research area of interest. You will then nominate a supervisor on the application form together with the agreed research project title. As science advances, projects may or may not change.
Your research will be conducted at Oxford under the supervision of academic staff who are at the forefront of developments in your chosen research project area. You will explore your research subject area to new depths and have the opportunity to present your findings to members of the international scientific community with whom, one day, you may well collaborate. DPhil students research full-time for three to four years under the supervision of experienced supervisors.
You will be encouraged to submit termly reports on your progress and report courses undertaken. Your supervisor will also contribute to your termly reports. Students are encouraged to volunteer as one of several student representatives in their second year of study, to sit on various committees, to host seminar speakers and to arrange student social events.
Applicants are encouraged to communicate with potential supervisors prior to submitting an application to agree the research topic proposed by the applicant. The allocation of graduate supervision is the responsibility of the Department of Physiology, Anatomy & Genetics and it is not always possible to accommodate the preferences of incoming graduate students to work with a particular member of staff. Under exceptional circumstances a supervisor may be found outside the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics.
Students are likely to formally meet with their supervisors on a monthly basis while informal meetings are encouraged and may occur more frequently concerning the science. All students in the Medical Sciences Division are required to have a co-supervisor in place once the programme of study is underway.
At the end of your first year or start of the second year, you will prepare and undertake the first milestone, Transfer of Status from Probationer Research Student (PRS) status to DPhil status, for which you will submit a written report describing your research to date and plans for the future. This will be assessed by two independent experts, who interview you as part of the process. The Transfer of Status milestone is generally undertaken towards the end of the third term and no later than the fourth term of the programme. At this point of the programme, you should have established relevant methodology and collected some preliminary data.
When you successfully pass the Transfer of Status, your next milestone is Confirmation of Status which will be no later than your ninth term (end of third year). At the Confirmation of Status, you give a full thesis outline and timeline within the application, then at the Confirmation viva, you will give a presentation to outline everything you have completed to date that will be in your thesis. The Confirmation of Status assessment is appraised by two experts. Subject to confirming your status, you will then write up your thesis for submission and defend the thesis at your Viva Voce examination. The Confirmation of Status milestone is generally undertaken from the eighth term on course and no later than the ninth term of the programme.
An alumni survey showed nearly two-thirds were employed in academic research or had returned to medicine in conjunction with academic research. Other careers included industrial research, high-tech start up companies, financial and business sectors, pharmaceutical consulting, teaching, scientific publishing, patent law and banking with some entering charitable fund raising and charitable scientific employment.
The University will seek to deliver this course in accordance with the description set out in this course page. However, there may be situations in which it is desirable or necessary for the University to make changes in course provision, either before or after registration. The safety of students, staff and visitors is paramount and major changes to delivery or services may have to be made in circumstances of a pandemic, epidemic or local health emergency. In addition, in certain circumstances, for example due to visa difficulties or because the health needs of students cannot be met, it may be necessary to make adjustments to course requirements for international study.
Where possible your academic supervisor will not change for the duration of your course. However, it may be necessary to assign a new academic supervisor during the course of study or before registration for reasons which might include illness, sabbatical leave, parental leave or change in employment.
