PhD Research Training Group

Molecular and in particular small animal imaging is an emerging tool impacting on various biomedical research areas such as neurology, oncology, cardiology or immunology. Furthermore, the pharmaceutical industry recognizes the exceptional potential of molecular imaging for drug research.
Our objective is to establish a PhD Research Training Group at the University of Tübingen, with a focus on Preclinical Molecular Imaging.
Our vision is to set up a novel graduate school without conventional rigid "student-like" structures. Instead, our focus will be on providing PhD candidates a research environment with the support needed whilst allowing the individuals as much freedom as possible. The Werner Siemens-Foundation provides funding to establish this graduate school at the Medical Faculty of the University of Tübingen, to encourage graduate students to take up training in the very exciting, innovative and interdisciplinary research field of "preclinical molecular imaging". For detailed information about the PhD Research Training Group, please download our information brochure.

Five fellowships have been awarded in two rounds of recruitment. The following candidates have received a fellowship:

• Salvador Castaneda Vega
• Jonathan Cotton
• Yun Lin
• Julia Schmitt
• Michael Walker
