- Description/content
- IMPRS-EBM is a collaborative programme with the University of Freiburg. It provides outstanding students with excellent research-oriented interdisciplinary training in epigenetics, biophysics, metabolism, biochemistry, cell biology, proteomics, bioinformatics and functional genomics. We train doctoral researchers to become self-reliant and to acquire and utilise the knowledge necessary for their research projects.
We offer:
• a stimulating English language programme in an international research environment
• access to state-of-the-art core facilities
• intensive individualised mentoring by thesis advisory committees
• rotations in three laboratories before you start your PhD project
• structured training complementing your PhD research and professional development
Our scientists are internationally renowned experts in their fields, and you will have a chance to profit from their expertise and mentorship. You will also have an opportunity to interact with high-profile international speakers hosted by our faculty and build up your scientific network by attending local and international conferences through the generous travel grants that are provided to all of our IMPRS-EBM fellows. The IMPRS Office also provides support for our international students settling into Freiburg.
