Istituto di Ricerca in Biomedicina (IRB), Università della Svizzera italiana (USI), Switzerland

The PhD program is carried out in collaboration with USI and other Universities, where the students are formally enrolled. The experimental work is carried out at the IRB, under the direct supervision of a Group Leader. The program includes seminars, lessons, summer courses and an annual retreat provided by the IRB.

An International Lecture Course is organised every year as part of the IRB International PhD Program in Immunology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry. Lectures are given by visiting experts of international reputation. Currently the IRB counts over 35 PhD students, and since the beginning of the program over 120 PhD theses were successfully defended. At present, the PhD program coordinator is Silvia Monticelli.

Applications to the IRB PhD Program have no official deadline: please directly contact the Group Leader of the laboratory you would be interested in joining for doctoral work, explaining your motivation to pursue training with a PhD and the reasons for interest in the specific area of research. Include your complete CV and names of references.

The PhD program is possible thanks to the generosity of the Gustav & Ruth Jacob Foundation.
