Location of University of Tübingen
The Graduate School of Cellular & Molecular Neuroscience provides
research-oriented training with a focus on neurologic and psychiatric
disorders employing genetic, molecular and cellular approaches as well
as molecular imaging techniques and transgenic mouse technology.
Of particular importance is basic and clinical research on pathogenetic
mechanisms leading to neurodegenerative diseases of the aging brain,
such as Alzheimer´s and Parkinson´s disease and Chorea Huntington. A
second research focus in Tübingen is on sensory organs, in particular on
the genetic causes and pathomechanisms of hereditary retinal disorders,
the molecular mechanisms of myopia development, the role of epigenetic
and transcription factors for inner ear development, and the molecular
mechanisms of hearing loss and tinnitus. Further research topics include
neurooncology, neurodevelopment, synaptic plasticity and neuroregeneration.
Contents
Doctoral students of the Graduate School of Cellular & Molecular Neuroscience will be offered a training program throughout their doctoral period and they are required to earn in total 20 credit points (ECTS system). Doctoral students will be grouped in cohorts according to their starting year. At least in the first year of their training, they will take courses together and join the same doctoral student seminar. Please note, that doctoral students who have earned their masters degree outside of Tübingen may as well take selected courses from our master program. Different types of courses will be offered during defined phases of the doctoral programme.
