Biomedicine is a broad field of study that concerns itself with the theoretical aspects of medicine and which applies biological and natural science concepts to practice. It has a number of related disciplines such as biochemistry, zoology, anatomy, genetics, physiology, pathology, botany, chemistry and biology. Career opportunities include areas that interact with medicine and health, such as engineering-based fields that solve biological and medical problems. Biomedical scientists work out a range of analytical and practical laboratory tests in order to contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
NOWNANO builds on the world-leading expertise in all nanoscience within Manchester and Lancaster universities to offer a broad interdisciplinary doctoral training centre (DTC). PhD students receive initial training that shows them the breadth and potential of nanoscience, before they focus on mastering one specific area of the subject. NOWNANO DTC offers many extra opportunities compared to traditional PhD, such as student conferences, joint events with other DTCs, innovation and commercialisation training, and outreach events. All these contribute to building a group of outstanding scientists that will help to lead world research in nanoscience in the future.
IMPRS-MCB PhD program is organized by the Max-Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics and the University of Freiburg. Our scientists are publishing in the high impact factor journals and are internationally renowned experts in their fields. You will have a chance to regularly meet international speakers at the institute and at conferences.
The international interdisciplinary PhD program "Frontiers in Life Sciences" (French acronym: FdV, for Frontières du Vivant), established in 2006 aims at promoting research projects centered on an understanding of Life requiring the blending of different disciplines. The graduate school recruits students from all over the world that were trained in any discipline (biology, physics, mathematics, computer science, medicine, ecology, agronomy...).
The HELENA Graduate School offers PhD projects in the following are: Diabetes and Lung Biology; Neuro and Stem Cell Biology; Infection, Immune and Tumor Biology; Epidemiology, Health Economics and Human Genetics; Radiation Research; Ecosystems Biology; Systems Biology, Biomedical Imaging and Structural Biology.
The Life Science Zurich Graduate School consists of thirteen highly competitive Ph.D. programs, run jointly by the ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich. We aim to attract to Zurich the most promising young scientists from across the world. Our programs offer a comprehensive and challenging Ph.D. education that allows our students to develop into tomorrow's leaders in life science research.
The EMBL International PhD Programme offers exciting PhD positions across Europe for talented you scientists with a background in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer science, engineering and molecular medicine.
Kings College London
The pharmaceutical sciences are concerned with gaining a detailed understanding of the human pathological state and using this knowledge to discover, design, develop and deliver drugs to the patient with a view to treating or managing disease. Our mission is to advance this interdisciplinary field through research in the areas of cellular biology, pharmacology, molecular biophysics, pharmaceutics, drug delivery, and medicinal chemistry.
Kings College London
The nutritional sciences are concerned with the process by which living matter acquires substances called nutrients for growth, repair and energy, but the science of nutrition is better defined as being concerned with understanding the effects of food on the body in both health and disease. It is a subject that requires a multidisciplinary approach. Although nutritional deficiency disorders, with the notable exception of iron deficiency anaemia, are uncommon among the UK population, the importance of nutrition is now widely recognised as being of immense public health importance. It plays a major role in the causation of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer, especially of the gastrointestinal tract. However, there is still much to learn concerning the regulation of nutritional metabolism and the relationship between diet and health.
University of Tübingen
The Graduate School of Neural Information Processing does provide research-oriented training in a wide spectrum of computational neuroscience topics. This doctoral program aims at students with a first degree in physics, mathematics, computer science, bioinformatics, engineering or a related field who have a strong interest in biomedical and neural sciences and technical applications. Profound knowledge in maths (linear algebra, analysis), statistics, elementary probability theory, and programming skills in at least one language are compulsory.
CEA/INSTN
The CEA is an internationally recognized research organization that benefits from a hybrid engineering and researcher culture that allows synergies between basic research and technological innovation.
University of Birmingham
Research in Molecular and Cell Biology addresses the function of cells and tissues at the molecular level using biomolecular, systems biology, advanced microscopic, genetic and structural biology techniques.
University of Bristol
Research in the Centre for Comparative and Clinical Anatomy (CCCA) is internationally recognised, and is funded by research councils, charities and private industry. CCCA has excellent facilities for both research and teaching. Its links with Clinical Medicine and Clinical Veterinary Sciences provide a wide range of opportunities for translational research.
