The QBP aims to build world-class research centres, nucleated in the Schools of Life Science and Medicine, along with exceptional interdisciplinary education programmes and an exciting public engagement interface. The QBP is funded by the Wellcome Trust Institutional Strategic Support Fund (ISSF), which exists to enable universities in the UK and Ireland to invest in areas that are of mutual strategic importance to Wellcome and the individual institutions.

The long-term vision for the Wellcome-Warwick Quantitative Biomedicine Programme is to deliver essential resources, people and ideas to address fundamental research questions by building world-class research centres, including:
Zeeman Institute for Systems Biology & Infectious Disease Epidemiology Research.
We also aim to nucleate and grow new centres of excellence and develop interdisciplinary research through the award of seed grants.
We recruited five QBP assistant/associateprofessors who use both experimental and/or theoretical approaches to solve key questions in biomedicine. These posts are based in the School of Life Sciences or Warwick Medical School and strengthen the work of our research centres.
We have also developed an exciting new undergraduate programme, the MSci Integrated Science degree, to provide multidisciplinary training in science and maths for the next generation of scientists.
We work with the Warwick Institute of Engagement to build a world class public engagement interface to transmit the discoveries of our researchers to the widest possible audiences.
