Biome - core: phd epidemiology and clinical research.

The PhD in Epidemiology and Clinical Research is a structured, internationally oriented graduate programme over three years. Within the framework of the Universitätsallianz Ruhr (UA Ruhr) several departments are involved in the PhD study programme. These are the Center of Clinical Epidemiology (CCE) at the IMIBE at Essen University Hospital, the Chair of Mathematical Statistics with Applications in Biometrics at the TU Dortmund University, the Department for Medical Computer Science, Biometrics and Epidemiology and the Research Institute for Prevention and Occupational Medicine of the German Social Accident Insurance at the Ruhr University Bochum.

The PhD programme aims to enable its doctoral candidates to independently plan, conduct, evaluate and publish clinical studies concerning epidemiological and clinical questions (early detection, diagnosis, therapy and prognosis) in due consideration of Good Epidemiological Practice (GEP) and Good Clinical Practice (GCP). In their dissertation the candidates prove they can achieve results through independent scientific work, which serve the development of both the epidemiological area of studies and clinical medicine.

The three-year study programme comprises the integration of an individual research project and a two-year accompanying programme, which counts 300 teaching units of 45 minutes each. 263 teaching units will be held in mandatory and elective modules. 37 teaching units can be elected by free choice and serve the development of core competencies in epidemiology. The seminars will be taught as modular, three-day or week-long courses. Therefore, the knowledge and skills enabling the dissertation complement one another and are acquired in consecutive seminars. Amongst other things, mandatory modules of the PhD programme include:

• Epidemiology
• Biometrics/Statistics
• Statistical Analysis Programmes
• Medicine for Non-Physicians. 

As part of the Summer School international guest lecturers will offer sessions on interesting topics from the field of Epidemiology and Clinical Research. During the PhD study programme the doctoral candidates will be advised by at least two supervisors. The third year of the programme is used to finalize the dissertation. Upon successful completion of the PhD study programme the Medical Faculty of the University Duisburg-Essen will confer the candidates the doctoral degree “Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)”. The language of instruction is English.

Ph.D. Program Medical Research - International Health

The Ph.D. program Medical Research - International Health combines health-related research in the widest sense and development cooperation. Special focus lies in educating researchers who in turn become multipliers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and thus the next generation of health professionals. Not only acquiring knowledge for one's own interest, but importing and multiplying the knowledge to areas in need should be a guiding working motive while working as a Ph.D. student at CIH LMU . This motive is complying with global development strategies that have recognized the human resource crisis as a key factor in the deterioration of health systems in low- and middle-income countries.

From this stance arises a certain focus on candidates from LMICs to provide their home countries with competent and responsible researchers and health professionals. However, the Ph.D. program is open to all who share an interest in health-related issues in the field of development cooperation. Therefore, we encourage all professionals of any nationality to become part of the Ph.D. program, people working in health or health-related fields who are willing to improve the local research and health situation both through manpower and knowledge.

The Ph.D. program Medical Research - International Health is part of the Munich Medical Research School (MMRS), a central institution of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München’s Medical Faculty. One of the main tasks of the MMRS is to establish Ph.D. core areas under the examination regulations for "Ph.D. Medical Research", in order to promote the faculty's internationalization. All doctoral students are automatically members of the MMRS upon admittance to the Ph.D. program Medical Research - International Health.

3 years full-time sandwich program

The doctoral project is supervised by both a local supervisor and two to three LMU supervisors. Doctoral candidates start their doctoral degree in Munich during Module Block I (Oct-Dec), but subsequently spend the research periods in their home country. After the first research period, Ph.D. candidates come to Munich for Module Block II (Jan-March) before completing the doctorate in their home country with the participation of the LMU supervisors

Over the last few decades, computer hardware has become smaller and smaller, but their technology remains more or less the same. Slowly, this development is reaching its limits.Thus, we need new technologies that satisfy our growing hunger for even more powerful hardware.

Quantum physics could be a solution.

Together with the University of Cologne and the RWTH Aachen, Bonn researchers want to work on making this new technology usable. To achieve this, quantum bits or even qubits - the quantum counterpart to our previous bits - quantum communication channels that build networks and error correction methods have to be explored from the ground up. As part of the Excellence Initiative, the Bonn-Cologne Graduate School of Physics and Astronomy (BCGS) offers a doctoral program with an integrated honors program.

Medical Faculty Mannheim Translational Medical Research

Translational Medical Research considers research conducted at the frontiers between the bench (lab-based experiments), the bedside (clinical research and patient management) and the healthcare system (broad implementation and health economics) with the aim of improving the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease. Innovation, entrepreneurship and commercialisation play a key role in effective Translational Medical Research.

The Master’s degree programme in Translational Medical Research (TMR) enables students to bridge the gap between research conducted in the field of life sciences, and the clinical application of findings. This dynamic is considered to be a two-way reiterative process that aims to create new approaches for the diagnosis and therapy of disease. Students are also taught how entrepreneurship and innovation contribute to effective translation of research into practice. The Master’s degree programme in Translational Medical Research therefore provides an ideal foundation for a PhD or a career in academia. 

Special Features and Characteristics

The Master’s degree programme in Translational Medical Research involves a mixture of theoretical and practical teaching, including lectures, lab courses, workshops and self-study assignments. The course can be studied by itself, or as part of the International Master in Innovative Medicine (IMIM), an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree Programme supported by the EU and the European Institute of Technology Health section (EIT Health). Local and international connections mean that the course is informed by leading institutions in the fields of research, education and industry, and ensure that students are part of a diverse, globally engaged medical research community. Cooperating institutions in the Rhine-Neckar region include the Central Institute of Mental Health (Zentrales Institut für Seelische Gesundheit, ZI) in Mannheim, the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ) and the National Center for Tumor Diseases (Nationales Zentrum für Tumorerkrankungen, NCT) in Heidelberg, as well as the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). International cooperation partners include Uppsala Universitet (Sweden), Rijksuniversiteit Groningen (the Netherlands), Universidade de Sao Paulo (Brazil), Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile (Chile), Universidad de Antioquia (Colombia), Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (Mexico) and Anhui Medical University (China). The focus on entrepreneurship and innovation means that the programme also benefits from collaboration with a wide range of partners in industry. 

Rather than completing their master’s theses in Mannheim, students might also opt to complete this part of their course at other universities, research institutes and commercial enterprises in Germany or abroad.

• University Medicine Mannheim
• Master Programs Translational Medical Research
• International Master in Innovative Medicine (IMIM)

Translational Medical Research is practiced in a multitude of institutes in Mannheim and Heidelberg and in the Rhine-Neckar region more widely. The research conducted at the Medical Campus in Mannheim traditionally focusses on oncology, vascular medicine, neurobiology and pain research, as well as medical technology. The Heinrich Lanz Centre enables links to be made to clinical studies, while the Fraunhofer IPA combines engineering and automation with medical diagnosis and therapy. In addition, the Central Institute of Mental Health (ZI) covers a broad spectrum of research in the field of neuroscience. More widely, Heidelberg boasts a variety of research institutes such as the National Center for Tumor Diseases (Nationales Zentrum für Tumorerkrankungen, NCT), the German Cancer Research Centre (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ), the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research, the Medical Faculty Heidelberg, the Centre for Molecular Biology Heidelberg (Zentrum für Molekularbiologie Heidelberg, ZMBH) and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL). 

Occupational Areas

Numerous international research organisations have recognised the importance of translational medical research, and this has been repeatedly emphasised by national and international organisations such as the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG), the European Union, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), USA.    Graduates of the Master’s degree programme in Translational Medical Research will therefore have good career prospects in areas including: 

• basic molecular and medical research centres 
• interdisciplinary translational Comprehensive Cancer Centres 
• clinical study centres and teaching hospitals 
• biotech and pharmaceutical industries 
• their own start-up companies

Structured PhD programmes

DAAD/Volker Lannert

Structured doctoral programmes differ from traditional doctoral research. In Germany, structured doctoral programmes are  very similar to the PhD programmes in English-speaking countries , in which a team of supervisors look after a group of doctoral students.

Structured doctoral programmes often have a  strong international orientation  with English as the team language. Unlike the individual doctorate model that can be freely structured to suit the individual research project, here doctoral students and their research proposals have to fit in with an existing PhD programme.

The doctorate frequently entails a  clearly structured doctoral study   programme  with compulsory attendance at lectures or seminars and interim assessment (credit points). The programme frequently also covers  academic and scientific methods or soft skills , such as presentation techniques.

As a rule, PhD Students work steadily at realising their research project within the team and with intensive  support from a group of academic staff  (often referred to as the “thesis committee”).

The duration of your studies is generally   limited to three to five years, and there is usually a fixed curriculum within which you work toward your doctorate and write your thesis.

Clinical Research (M.Sc.)

Out-of-the-box-thinking and multidisciplinary collaboration.

The Master's Program in Clinical Research (MPCR) at Dresden International University is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the methodology and practice of clinical research. Our program creates an international platform for medical scientists that emphasizes teamwork, creativity, out-of-the-box thinking, and multidisciplinary collaboration. With our strong partnership with Harvard University, we recognize the grades of the international nine-month distance-learning program "Principles and Practice of Clinical Research (PPCR)" * offered by the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health , allowing graduates of the PPCR course to directly continue with our Master's program and shorten their study time.

Our program provides students with the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of clinical research and prepares them for a successful career in the field. Upon completion of the program, students will receive the academic title of Master of Science (M. Sc.) from the Dresden International University. Our program is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to advance in their careers and make a positive impact in the field of clinical research.

At Dresden International University, our approach to teaching is centered on collaboration and active learning. Our lecturers work closely with students to generate new ideas and research questions, while also helping to develop individual skills and thinking strategies. This close, open relationship between students and teachers not only fosters a deeper understanding of the subject matter but also creates a valuable professional network for our students.

Our curriculum is built on a solid theoretical foundation but also places a strong emphasis on the practical application of clinical research. Our students are trained to negotiate contracts, independently develop and implement clinical research projects, and evaluate the potential risks and benefits of their projects. This approach ensures that our students are well-prepared to succeed in the field of clinical research after graduation.
