700 PhD programmes in Biology

The Department of Medical Cell Biology at Uppsala University carries out research and educates PhD students in cell biology and physiology focusing on diabetes, kidney function, inflammation, cancer and neurobiology.

The Joint Carnegie Mellon University-Pitt Ph.D. Program in Computational Biology (CPCB)  provides interdisciplinary training in using quantitative and computational approaches to tackle scientific questions that lie at the interface of the life, physical, engineering, and computer sciences.  

Each organism, whether animal, plant or microbe, is defined by its genome and this same information can be used by us to investigate wide ranging biological phenomena and even alter biology itself through the production of transgenic organisms. We offer a Biological Sciences (Functional and Comparative Genomics) degree at the University of Liverpool.

Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Ecology research at The Open University UK focuses on Earth’s terrestrial ecosystems and biosphere-atmosphere exchange of greenhouse gases. Studies undertaken range from investigations of the smallest microbial unit to whole catchment ecosystems and across a wide range of latitudes, with a developing focus on tropical ecosystems.

At the Simon Fraser University, we offer our graduate students a programme degree in Biological Sciences.

At Utrecht University, the Computational Life Sciences research is changing rapidly now that biologists are generating vast amounts of data on very complex regulatory systems. 

Eye and Vision Sciences research at University of Liverpool extends from basic molecular interactions through to health service implementation with the goal of translating our findings for the benefit of patients.

Our unique approach to the scientific aspects of Astrobiology - Science research at The Open University UK combines fieldwork, laboratory simulations, thermochemical modelling and in situ observations.

Research opportunities in the Biological, Biomedical and Life Sciences at Keele University include a wide range of topics in mammalian molecular biology, molecular medicine, epigenetics, proteomics, physiology, structural biology and neuroscience.

PhD candidates at Leiden University carry out a Biology programme of independent research and additional (limited) course work, culminating in production of a PhD thesis in typically 4 years.

Our Cancer Risk Factors and Prevention Program at German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg focuses on identifying risk factors (primary prevention), improve early detection and screening strategies (secondary prevention), as well as approaches to prevent disease progression and to improve quality of life (tertiary prevention). 

The Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology program from Columbia University’s mission is to educate a new generation of scientists and practitioners in the theory and methods of ecology, evolution, and environmental biology. 

The Nutritional Biology Graduate Group at the University of California, Davis is an interdisciplinary program designed to provide the skills, and prepare students for modern, cutting-edge nutrition research. 

The major emphasis of the Anatomy and Cell Biology doctoral program at Wayne State University is in the acquisition of research expertise designed to prepare graduates to become principal investigators in their own laboratories as well as educators in the academic setting.

The Department of Biology at Stanford University offers resources and experience learning from and working with world-renowned faculty involved in research on ecology, neurobiology, population biology, plant and animal physiology, biochemistry, immunology, cell and developmental biology, genetics, and molecular biology.

The program Physics of Biology at the University of Geneva provides interdisciplinary training towards a doctorate (PhD) at the interface between Physics and Biology.

The Biological Sciences - Integrative Physiology and Neurobiology degree from Kent State University is the study of a broad range of topics, including endocrinology, neuroscience, immunology, reproductive biology and other regulatory systems. 

The Stanford University Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (SCBRM) program is dedicated to doctoral education that translates basic science to clinical applications, typically referred to as Translational Science, and of intense interest internationally in medical schools and universities.

At the University of California, Berkeley, we offer our graduate students a phd degree in Metabolic Biology.

The Biological Sciences - Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics degree from Kent State University is an individualized program of study and research that prepares students for career opportunities in teaching and research in academic, governmental and industrial settings.
