Grants 2013 (scholarships) for postgraduate studies in Germany
Certified specialists in biology and bioengineering, bioinformatics, biophysics are invited to participate in the competition for admission to graduate school in Germany (The IMPRS-CellDevoSys).
The postgraduate program at the Technical University of Dresden (Technische Universität Dresden, TUD) was established in cooperation with the Max Planck research institutes: Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) and Max Planck Institute of the Physics of Complex Systems (MPI-PKS).
