About CEDAR

CEDAR is an ambitious 8.5 year programme funded by a Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) grant from UKRI, developed in collaboration with industry partners.

CEDAR will train 90 future leaders with the multidisciplinary skills essential for advancing next-generation, sustainable medicines manufacturing.

By developing novel Cyber-physical systems that harness the power of digital technologies including artificial intelligence, robotics and augmented reality, CEDAR will deliver the talent pipeline of future leaders who can help to bring new medicines to patients, faster, more sustainably and cost effectively.

Why study at CMAC?

CMAC's CEDAR programme will equip our graduates with a range of transferrable skills to support them in their future careers.

CMAC provides students with the opportunity for industrial placements and provides access to our world-class facilities and diverse skills development programmes.

Students will work with an excellent team of academic supervisors and will benefit from mentoring by leading industrialists throughout their studies. This ensures that all researchers receive expert input on the industrial relevance and context of their work, as well as feedback and advice on projects.

A PhD at CMAC also provides students with valuable experience in presenting and networking during our own Open Days and Summer School events, while also encouraging participation in external events.

At CMAC, PhD researchers have a unique opportunity to undertake an innovative industrial placement at one of our tier 1 industrial partners (AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Sanofi, Chiesi, UCB, Takeda, Lilly and Roche).

These placements provide our students with vital industrial knowledge and experience that can help shape their research projects and equip them with practical skills essential for success in their future careers.
