Human medicine deals with issues how to maintain human health conditions, prevent from illness and treat it. Human medicine is a health science based on biomedical research. The study field has many multidisciplinary fields, such as biomedical engineering, disaster medicine, hospital medicine, environmental medicine, travel medicine, evolutionary medicine, forensic medicine, medical ethics, sexual medicine, addiction medicine, laser medicine, therapeutics, pain medicine, nosology, medical humanities, pharmacogenomics, urgent care and etc. The field has a wide spectrum of health professionals: bioengineers, pharmacists, therapists, nurses, laboratory scientists and etc. Most of the basic sciences of the field are: genetics, immunology, neurology, psychiatry, neuroscience, microbiology, epidemiology, molecular biology, histology, toxicology, cytology, biostatistics, pharmacology, nutrition science, biophysics, medical physics, biochemistry, pathology, embryology, photobiology, endocrinology, anatomy, radiobiology and biomechanics.
The PhD postgraduate programs are organised around teaching courses and a research project (thesis work). Successful students will have to pass all course examinations, the PhD thesis examination and have at least one first author publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
Max F. Perutz Laboratories (MFPL), a joint venture between University of Vienna and Medical University of Vienna, offer graduate training leading to PhD degrees in diverse areas of molecular biology.

This PhD will involve the development of a decision-analytic model of renal replacement therapy. In addition to assessing cost-effectiveness the model will be used to assess the implications of improved access to transplantation in terms of resource use and patient outcomes.
With the supervision of a director, the doctoral candidate carries out a personal research, which requires several years of continuous intellectual effort. Apart from a basis of solid knowledge, the doctoral thesis demands the candidate's skill to lead a long-term project, a sound interest in the chosen field of research and a certain originality of thought. In general, the doctoral thesis gives way to publications of several articles in specialized reviews, or even of a book.
We offer an exceptional research environment with world class facilities for all areas of neuroscience. The breadth and depth of our expertise ranges from the phenotypic analysis of single gene mutations to the characterization of gene-environment interplay in psychiatric and neurological, and from imaging intracellular calcium in single dendritic spines to combined EEG and fMRI during attentional tasks in humans. Our neuroscience researchers are among the international leaders in their respective fields. Indeed, the 2008 Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology has been awarded to Prof. Martin Evans of the School of Bioscience for his pioneering work on stem cells. Research labs are equipped with the most up-to-date facilities to address key questions of basic and clinical Neuroscience. All neuroscientists have substantial financial support that has been won in peer-reviewed competitions. Thus, PhD students have a great opportunity to join neuroscience research that is of the highest international standard
The graduate programs are organized to provide an excellent training in basic and applied research areas of molecular biology and genetics.
The School offers the following research degrees within the various Institutes.
The Institute of Psychological Medicine and Clinical Neurosciences is one of the largest university Institutes of psychiatry in the UK, providing leadership in clinical practice, teaching and high quality, cutting-edge research across many areas of psychiatric practice.
The INSTN offers continuing education opportunities geared towards professionals who need to keep their knowledge or their expertise up to date or who wish to be learn about the latest developments in science and technology. The institute forms more than 8,000 trainees per year.
This programme offers knowledge and expertise for those wishing to pursue advanced research in Clinical Kinaesiology.
