Vascular Biology
The thematic programme „Vascular Biology“ prepares you for research based positions both in academia and in industry with a focus on Vascular Biology. It also provides you with a cutting-edge research training and education in different fields of Vascular Biology.
Mental Health and Behavioural Medicine
This thematic programme is designed to train and prepare students for careers combining psychosocial and biomedical research with clinical practice in mental health and psychiatry. By training doctoral students in these areas the long-term goal of the programme is to increase the university’s performance in applied research by allowing for a symbiosis of research and practice.
Programme for Organfailure, -replacement and Tansplantation (POET)
Primary aim of this thematic programme is to educate scientists who are able to independently implement clinical trials, projects in translational science and basic scientific research in the field of organ failure, -replacement and transplantation medicine.
Preclinical and Clinical Research for Drug Development
The thematic programme "Preclinical and clinical research in drug development" will provide a comprehensive training in all major areas of patient-orientated research in drug development. The candidates will be familiarized with the theoretical background of development of a novel compound beginning from the screening in in vitro via preclinical animal models up to clinical trial testing.
Musculoskeletal and Dental Research
The primary objective of this thematic programme is to train students to become leaders in academic research and industry. The programme follows a translational and multidisciplinary approach to survey musculoskeletal and oral disorders, to detect their causes and to develop strategies for diagnosis and therapy.
