PhD programmes in Biochemistry in Germany

The Integrated Graduate School Solvation Science (iGSS) programme from the Cluster of Excellence RESOLV, Ruhr Explores Solvation, provides a strong support network for researchers of chemistry, biochemistry, physics, and engineering to investigate the key roles solvents play in phenomena like protein reactions in cells, sustainable reuse of CO2 or the origin of life.

The doctoral program "Microbiology and Biochemistry" is a member of the Göttingen Graduate Center for Neurosciences, Biophysics, and Molecular Biosciences (GGNB). It is hosted by the Göttingen Center for Molecular Biosciences (GZMB) and is conducted jointly by the University of Göttingen and the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry.

A structured training Konstanz Research School Chemical Biology programme from University of Konstanz provides scientific as well as transferable skill courses. Our doctoral researchers benefit from our partnerships with academic institutions and leading companies around the world.

We offer a International Max Planck Research School for Global Biogeochemical Cycles degree at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena. 

Modern developments in sustainable catalytic chemistry form the focus of the "Catalysis for Sustainable Synthesis" doctoral programme at the University of Göttingen and the Technical University Braunschweig. 

The Quantitative Biosciences Munich course from Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) Munich aims at preparing young life scientists for the new era of quantitative, systems-oriented bioscience.

The Obesity Mechanisms program at Leipzig University has been examining three main research foci: overeating, fat deposition and inflammation, and altered adipokine secretion.

This Biochemistry PhD Program at the Heidelberg University offers an intense and detailed advisory assistance and supervision and a constant training in the field of biochemistry. It aims to broaden the horizons of the doctoral students and to prepare them for their later scientific career.

A key focus of life science in the TU Dresden International Graduate School for Biomedicine and Bioengineering is Biochemistry. A range of fascinating research topics and of state-of-the-art technologies are represented in our graduate school to understand the molecular basis of life.

Embark on a scientific odyssey at Philip University in Marburg, where the Biochemistry and Pharmacology doctoral program awaits passionate scholars. This program epitomizes the institution's commitment to advancing knowledge at the intersection of biochemistry and pharmacology.

Within the PhD Phase of the Matter to Life Direct Track Program you will pursue interdisciplinary research in one of the MtL Fellow laboratories distributed all over Germany. The objective of the Max Planck School MtL is to address the questions of "What is life?" and "Can life-like processes, functions and objects be quantitatively described, simulated, predicted and created in the laboratory?"
