Cell Biology and Tumor Biology
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.
Medical Research in Genomic and Molecular Medicine - Personalized Approaches to Childhood Health
The international and interdisciplinary "Ph.D. Medical Research in Genomic and Molecular Medicine - Personalized Approaches to Childhood Health" is part of the Dr. von Hauner Children's Hospital and the Munich Medical Research School from Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) Munich.
Life Science - From Molecules to Systems
The Graduate School Life Science Munich (LSM) offers an international doctoral program in life sciences to outstandingly motivated and qualified graduates. We offer a Life Science - From Molecules to Systems degree at Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) Munich.
Functional and Structural Genomics
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.
Language
The Class of Language is one of four classes of the Graduate School Language & Literature Munich (GS L&L) from Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) Munich.
