PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology

The programme aims to train experts in biomolecular sciences and biotechnology, promoting a molecular approach to studying complex biological problems. It fosters collaboration between research institutes, schools, and companies while emphasizing internationalization. A key aspect involves students' direct involvement in experimental research, fostering scientific and organizational independence.

The doctoral programme aims to:

• Train scientific experts with excellent skills in the field of biomolecular sciences and biotechnology
• Promote a molecular approach to the study of complex biological problems in model organisms (prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms, animals and plants)
• Encourage collaboration between research institutes, advanced training schools and companies in the fields of biomolecular sciences and biotechnology
• Encourage internationalisation by promoting international scientific collaborations, involving foreign lecturers, recruiting postgraduate students from abroad, and organising co-tutored dissertations involving study periods abroad

Training activities will be characterised by:

• A multidisciplinary approach
• Interactivity
• Links to the business world
• Internationalisation

A key element of the programme is the direct involvement of doctoral students in experimental research activities. Students will work full-time on a research project, providing critical insight and suggestions, and thereby acquiring scientific and organisational independence.
