Overview

Research in life sciences is multidisciplinary. It is crucial to train new generations of researchers to meet future challenges in this field.

Overview

Students from the Life Sciences program at the University of Lausanne have the opportunity to conduct a personal and original research project in one of the groups of the Faculty of Biology and Medicine and work at the interface of bioscience, medicine and human sciences.
