254 PhD programmes in Biology in Europe

The Bioscience programme offered by Chalmers University of Technology develops advanced research expertise in applying engineering and technological methods to biological systems and health and environmental challenges.

Regeneration is the renewal of degenerated or lost cells, tissues or organs within an organism. Such regenerative processes are mainly based on the action of specific stem or progenitor cells that possess the capacity to proliferate and differentiate into the required cell-types. This Regenerative and Degenerative Biology programme is offered at TU Dresden.

Exhibiting the core values of The Open University UK, the Cancer Biology research group is ‘open to people, places, methods and ideas.’

The Tumour Biology and Oncology programme offered by Karolinska Institute develops advanced research expertise in cancer biology, oncology, and translational cancer research.

This Biological Sciences (Veterinary Medicine) degree from the University of Cambridge is carried out over a minimum of three and a maximum of four years (full-time), including a probationary period of one year. Each student is assigned a primary Supervisor, who will then assign an advisor or supervisory team to assist the student under their supervision.

The Vascular Biology programme at Medical University of Vienna provides cutting-edge training in the physiology and pathophysiology of the cardiovascular system.

The Metabolism, Digestion and Reproduction programme offered by Imperial develops advanced research expertise in human health, disease mechanisms, and biomedical sciences related to metabolism, gastrointestinal biology, and reproductive medicine, preparing researchers to contribute to healthcare innovation and scientific discovery.

The programme  RNA Biology at Medical University of Vienna trains PhD candidates in basic and biomedical research projects relevant to this topic and provides a state-of-the-art training environment.

The Biozentrum Fellowship Program offered by the University of Basel encourages talented, ambitious and highly motivated young scientists from all over the world to apply for the prestigious and sought after fellowships offered by the Biozentrum Basel International PhD Program.
