The Cancer Biology program from the University of Zurich trains participating students towards a PhD in basic or clinical cancer research. In the course of the studies, the students’ scientific achievements actively contribute to the success of cancer research in Zurich.

The PhD Program in Biomolecular Structure and Mechanism at ETH Zurich - Swiss Federal Institute of Technology offers an extensive and challenging post-graduate education for graduate students in biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology, structural biology and related areas from all over the world.

The Research Program (FSP-A) at German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg concentrates the basic Cell Biology and Tumor Biology-focused research groups at the Center. 

Cancer arises when genes in a cell are changed in such a way that they cause the cell to divide uncontrolled. For this to happen, however, a multitude of specific changes have to coincide. We offer a Functional and Structural Genomics degree at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg. 

The Ph.D. Degree in Biodiversity and Ecology from University of Cyprus aims at providing students with high quality education of international standing, so that that they can develop a deep understanding of their science and a versatile thinking, something critical for their professional career in the modern environment.

The Cancer Biology PhD Program at ETH Zurich - Swiss Federal Institute of Technology offers ambitious and talented students interested in cancer research a stimulating international environment.
