PhD program in Computational Biology: MPIMG 2482 views

The International Max Planck Research School for Biology AND Computation offers the dual education with supervision from experimental and computational groups and the opportunity to carry out research at the interface of biology, bioinformatics, mathematics and biochemistry.

About the program:
  • This is a joint graduate program of the Freie Universität Berlin (FU, departments of biology, chemistry, pharmacy and department of mathematics and computer science) and the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics (MPIMG).
  • Project duration / Time Span is  3 years
  • Scientific research in the program is accompanied by a training and teaching program in English with the main focus on formal sciences.

  • While also allowing the students to acquire additional knowledge in biology, the course work is aimed primarily at providing the knowledge in the formal sciences required for modeling and analyzing particular biological questions.
  • This will be achieved by a combination of course work and research on their PhD project with renowned scientists.
  • Students shall obtain the ability to independently conduct scientific research in the fields of computational biology and scientific computing.

Subjects / Field of Research: Mathematics / Natural Sciences (Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Scientific Computing)
