The doctoral programme offers high-quality doctoral training in the areas of biomedicine and translational and molecular medicine.
50 new doctoral researchers are admitted into the programme each year.
The Doctoral Programme in Biomedicine encompasses research in molecular, cellular, physiological and pathological mechanisms relevant for biomedicine and translational medicine. The thread running through all research fields is the strong linkage of research questions to human health and/or disease.
The research in the doctoral programme encompasses fields such as cancer biology, immunology and infection biology, stem cell research, molecular neurology, metabolic research, human genetics and genomics, cardiovascular biology, precision medicine, the human microbiome, molecular diagnostics and imaging, computational biology, and AI in the biomedical context.
Our doctoral researchers work in a high-impact research environment at the Faculty of Medicine, the units of the Helsinki Institute of Life Science (Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland, Institute of Biotechnology, Neuroscience Center), private research institutes on Meilahti Campus or at other faculties, for example on Viikki Campus.
The Doctoral Programme in Biomedicine offers an international environment for research and training, in addition to plenty of opportunities for international networking.
