Oldenburg-Groningen Joint Graduate Research Training Group
“Translational Research: From Pathological Mechanisms to Therapy”
The binational, interdepartmental and interdisciplinary programme aims to foster the integration of basic research, patient-oriented research, and population-based research with the long-term aim to improve health and patient outcome. PhD students work on a three year individual research project in the fields of psychiatry, oncology, immunology or genetics and receive a broad training with courses in molecular biology, statistics, epidemiology, neuroscience, academic writing and others.
Students are jointly supervised by one PI at the University Medical Center Groningen and one PI at the Faculty of Medicine in Oldenburg. They will receive PhD certificates from both institutions. The first students started in early 2018. They conduct research in one of the following projects.
