Ph.D. Program Medical Research in Epidemiology & Public Health
The "Ph.D. Program Medical Research in Epidemiology & Public Health" is an international and interdisciplinary program headquartered at the Institute for Medical Information Processing, Biometry and Epidemiology (IBE) of LMU Munich. It is part of the Munich Medical Research School and the Pettenkofer School of Public Health.
The program is aimed towards excellent candidates from different disciplines and provides research and training opportunities in the fields of Genetic, Molecular and Clinical Epidemiology, Clinical Trials and Translational Medicine, Clinical and Evidence-based Prevention, Pharmacoepidemiology, Evidence-based Public Health, and Health Economics.
Each Ph.D. candidate works in close collaboration with their Thesis Advisory Committee to define the specific research aims and curricular content of their studies. This individual tailor-made training and supervision concept ensures that the needs of each Ph.D. candidate are met on their way to obtaining their degree.
Through a structured and stimulating curriculum – including courses, seminars, workshops, a Journal Club and an annual retreat – the doctoral candidates have the opportunity to connect and exchange information with their fellows as well as with professors and visiting researchers.
