Cell biology and immunology have been a major focus at the University of Tübingen for years. This becomes manifest in the Institute for Cell Biology with its Departments of Immunology and Molecular Biology, in the collaborative research centres 510 (Stem Cell Biology and Antigen Processing) and 466 (Mechanisms of the Cell Behavior of Eukaryotic Cells), as well as numerous research projects in the Faculties of Medicine, Biology and Chemistry.
The research training group "Celluar Mechanisms of Immune-Associated Processes" offers its research fellows wide range of opportunities for research and study in the fields of molecular and cell biology as well as immunology. The programme is intended for natural scientists with a diploma or masters university degree (top grade) and for medical students who have completed their Physicum (examination taken after four study semesters). A doctorate is an academic degree granted for independent academic work. This consists of an academic dissertation and an oral examination (Rigorosum).
Within the framework of this programme, student of medicine are taught research methods and natural scientists are provided with the knowledge for clinical research. In addition to these scientific aims, the doctoral programme acts as an interface between the University and applied clinical research.
In addition to the scientific and methodological education, the doctoral students are trained in communication, presentation of results, personal management, application procedures and ethics in the sciences. Based on the cooperation of several institutes, the doctoral students can choose their research project in such a way that they gain a broad insight into topical immunological research.
An additional focus of the doctoral programme is to provide highly motivated fellows with the opportunity to gain practical experience in the biomedical industry. The programme thus includes training periods in pharmaceutical companies.
