PhD Programs
Gene Center groups also participate in structured PhD programs that offer additional advanced coursework and specialized training, as well as substantial financial support (PhD fellowships). These include the Graduate School of Quantitative Biosciences Munich (QBM) and the International Max Planck Research School for Molecules of Life (IMPRS-ML).
The research training group GRK1721 (Integrated Analysis of Macromolecular Complexes and Hybrid Methods in Genome Biology) was funded by the DFG for nine years and ended in 2021.
