Overview

Key Features

The Biology and Medicine program ultimate goal at University of Freiburg is to create a top notch "Life Scientist of the Future" who can assimilate knowledge and techniques from various disciplines as well as combine basic with translational research, biotechnology and drug development. In order to achieve this goal SGBM follows four major strategies:

it relies on existing research and teaching programs in life sciences and interdisciplinary courses in "Novel Technologies" and "Soft Skills"
it has implemented an MD/PhD program which allows medical doctors to perform a PhD on projects at the interface of basic and translational research
an exchange program allows the best doctoral students to participate in research and teaching activities at partner universities abroad

doctoral students perform their research bearing in mind the DFG guidelines related to good scientific practice.

The graduate school is built on superb research and teaching programs in Protein Structure and Function, Synthetic Biology and Signalling, Developmental Biology, Neurosciences, Immunology and Virology, Molecular Medicine and Molecular Plant Sciences. It has been established in close collaboration with several Research Training Groups (RTGs), an International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS), Collaborative Research Centres (CRCs) and the Bernstein Centre Freiburg (BCF).
