Overview
About the program
- The focus of this Mathematical Modeling for the Quantitative Biosciences program is on applying modeling, analysis and simulation methods to biological systems at different levels of abstraction - gene regulation, signaling pathways, mechanical cell properties and cell populations.
- Through the broad and complementary expertise of its principal investigators, the Research Group will acquaint PhD students with a comprehensive array of methodologies for mathematical modeling of biological processes and computational analysis of experimental data. These include deterministic, stochastic, multiscale and spatio-temporal modeling approaches.
- As a unique part of their training, PhD students at Heidelberg University will do internships in experimental laboratories of collaborating research groups to gain first-hand experience in quantitative biological methods and to participate in planning experiments.
Programme Structure
PhD projects include:- Regulation of cell-to-cell variability in prokaryotes

Student insurance
Make sure to cover your health, travel, and stay while studying abroad. Even global coverages can miss important items, so make sure your student insurance ticks all the following:
- Additional medical costs (i.e. dental)
- Repatriation, if something happens to you or your family
- Liability
- Home contents and baggage
- Accidents
- Legal aid
We partnered with Aon to provide you with the best affordable student insurance, for a carefree experience away from home.
