France: IGBMC International PhD Programme

Overview

The IGBMC is one of the leading European centers for biomedical research, providing an outstanding research and training environment. We are committed to train students across all areas of molecular biology and expose them to the latest technology developments. The students spent three years with us, working on a dedicated research project as well as attending a diversity of lectures and practicals. Close collaborations with other research institutions in the “Parc d’Innovation” such as the adjacent MCI (Mouse Clinical Institute), the trinational biotechnology school ESBS (Ecole Supérieure de Biotechnologie Strasbourg ), the Faculty of Pharmacy as well as ISIS (Institut de Science et d'Ingénierie Supramoléculaires ) and the University of Strasbourg at large contribute to a very stimulating atmosphere. Naturally, with its 250 students and post-docs from over 30 nationalities, the IGBMC offers a very lively and dynamic setting, fostering interactions at IGBMC and beyond.

Funding

Students who join the IGBMC International PhD Programme receive funding during the complete duration of their graduate work. Two types of financial support are available:
