PhD Program

A core activity of the BIMSB scientific mission is to train the next generation of systems biologists. BIMSB's MDC-NYU PhD Exchange program was conceived with this aim in mind and launched in 2008. Funding is secured for each of our ten students to spend up to two years working and studying at the Center for Genomics and Systems Biology at New York University. In return, we offer students the chance to take advantage of our state of the art technology platforms and a training programme of specialist courses and personal development opportunities. Both partners are committed to sharing their scientific and educational expertiese with their respective student bodies.
