PhD in Life Sciences

Students acquire a broad scientific knowledge, which extends from the molecules within the cells to organisms in their environment and communities. The practical work is gradually more linked to the research labs with the advancement of studies. Most importantly, students also develop an analytical and critical mind as well as the abilities to learn independently, to work in a team and to communicate in multiple languages, as to more fully convey the importance of biology in our society. This curriculum prepares its graduates for careers in numerous areas of life science.

The interdisciplinary approach allow us to study infectious diseases, immunity and cancer, neuroscience. An understanding of the structural, molecular and genetic mechanisms in living organisms allow us to go straight to the source of it all and studying stem cells in plants, animals and humans. An understanding of all aspects of biological systems, from organization and evolution to adaptation and intra and interspecific communication is also one of our speciality. Most of the research projects are using cutting-edge technology in imaging, genomics and proteomics.
