The Doctoral Programme in Molecular Medicine (DPMM) at the University of Eastern Finland (UEF) is an interdisciplinary program designed to train researchers as international experts in modern biomedicine. The program focuses on understanding the molecular causes and mechanisms of diseases, aiming to develop methods for their treatment and prevention.
Key Features:
Research Areas: DPMM encompasses a wide range of research fields, including:
Doctoral researchers actively participate in research groups within these areas.
Supervision: Each doctoral researcher is guided by a supervisory team, including at least two experts with doctoral degrees. These supervisors provide mentorship and ensure the progress of the thesis project.
Application Process: Prospective students must submit an application that includes:
Applications are accepted during two periods annually: January 1 to May 31 and August 1 to November 30. Decisions are typically communicated within approximately three months of submission.
Training Environment: Doctoral training is organized by the A.I. Virtanen Institute for Molecular Sciences and the School of Medicine within UEF's Faculty of Health Sciences. This structure provides a collaborative and resource-rich environment for research.
