MyoGrad International Research Training for Myology, Germany

Scholarship Details:

MyoGrad seeks to attract excellent and highly motivated students who wish to obtain a PhD in the field of muscle-related cell and molecular biology and intend to embark on a scientific career. Applications from medical doctors with a keen interest in clinical and scientific aspects of muscle diseases are also welcome. In addition the program runs its own MD-PhD program to enroll future physician scientists. Students accepted by MyoGrad will conduct a bi-nationally supervised doctoral thesis (co-tutelle de thèse) within one of the 9 projects of the training group. They will enroll in both Berlin and Paris University (with tuition paid once) and do research work both in Berlin and in Paris labs. At this early stage of their career they will already be part of a very prestigious muscle science research community. After three years students are expected to defend their dissertation before a dissertation committee equally composed of German and French academic representatives. Successful students will obtain one doctoral degree by both universities.
