PhD Program
Genomic and Molecular Medicine – Personalized Approaches to Childhood Health
The Ph.D. program “Genomic and Molecular Medicine – Personalized Approaches to Childhood Health” is offering an internationally acknowledged doctoral degree within the Munich Medical Research School to international and national students. This Ph.D. program covers a wide range of topics including genomics and the overall “omics”-approach to pediatric medicine as well as aspects of immunology, epigenetics and biochemistry. The programm is designed as a 3-year-full-time course, with lectures, retreats and seminars, also including methods workshops. High priority is given to the development of own research skills to be able to work independently as a researcher.
The program starts in April and October each year, the language is English, however the thesis can be written in German or English.
