The main focus of the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1123 Atherosclerosis – Mechanisms and Networks of Novel Therapeutic Targets is to study in depth the molecular networks in atherogenesis, atheroprogression and atherothrombosis as the pathological sequence underlying coronary artery disease, in order to identify and verify novel targets for treating atherosclerosis. With this aim in mind, our CRC brings together researchers of different disciplines, institutions, and universities in Munich.
Within this interdisciplinary research, doctoral researchers enrolled in our CRC programme will be offered a three-year structured PhD programme, allowing the students to collect the necessary European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) points to obtain their PhD in Medical Research. MD students are welcome to join the study programme for the duration of their medical thesis research projects in the lab.
The fundamental goal of our qualification programme is to provide training specifically tailored to the needs and topic of our CRC. The training programme consists of the following:
A thesis advisory committee is assigned to each PhD student. This committee supervises the scientific work, its feasibility and its milestones. The committee also advises the student in his/her career planning and the cultivation of a scientific network.
Additional support is offered by the GraduateCenter.
The three-year programme consists of the following:
A. Lecture series (one-time 45-60 minutes)
B. Basic Principles seminars (one-time 45-60 minutes) and respective Advanced Method courses (hands-on; one- to two-day courses) such as:
C. Soft skills
D. Annual retreat
E. Thesis advisory committee
F. Organisation of lecture series and meetings
Teaching is not mandatory, but teaching opportunities can be offered upon request.
