The Doctoral Program in Pathology and Molecular Genetics (PDPGM) offers advanced training in pathology and molecular genetics. Targeted at young graduates or those with a master's in life and health sciences, it focuses on basic and translational research, as well as molecular diagnostics in biopathology. Graduates will be equipped to lead scientific research

The basic goal of the Doctoral Program in Aquatic Environmental Sciences (PDCMA) is to train highly qualified professionals who are able to enter careers in research and management in public or private institutions or companies related to the aquatic environment or teaching at higher education level.

BiotechHealth (ICBAS and FFUP) offers excellent doctoral training in Molecular and Cellular Biotechnology applied to Health Sciences, in an interdisciplinary and international environment, promoting collaboration with research groups, hospitals and companies. The program offers training in diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, tissue regeneration,

The Ph.D. in Biological Sciences program at Carnegie Mellon University exemplifies the interdisciplinary approach that has become an essential feature of modern biomedical science. Biochemistry, biophysics, structural biology, cell and developmental biology, computational biology, molecular biology and genetics and neuroscience encompass our research foci; many students are involved in several disciplines while working on their research projects. This interdisciplinarity is unusual for departments of a similar size.

The Molecular and Cellular Biology programme aims to train experts in biomolecular sciences and biotechnology, promoting a molecular approach to studying complex biological problems. It fosters collaboration between research institutes, schools, and companies while emphasizing internationalization. A key aspect involves students' direct involvement in experimental research, fostering scientific and organizational independence.

Doctoral study program in Biochemistry and Pathobiochemistry deals with the chemical and biological characterization of biomolecules and their building units in health and diseases. The program deals with their mutual transformation, with their role in the regulation of physiological processes, and with their disorders. An important task is to study the biological membranes, subcellular components (organelles), energy transformations, and the role of extracellular matrix and second messengers in the cell regulations. Branch also focuses on the role of free radicals in carcinogenesis and atherogenesis. The study program is closely related to molecular biology and genetics as well as to many basic and clinical biomedical fields, especially to clinical biochemistry.

The Doctoral Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology (PDBMC) offers advanced training, equipping students with solid scientific knowledge and technical skills. Graduates will be prepared for academic and industrial research, addressing key aspects of molecular and cellular biology with expertise in both fields.

The doctoral study program is primarily designated for graduates of master study program Bioanalytical Healthcare – as the third stage of education following after the bachelor and master study, and also for graduates from study programs of natural sciences, pharmacy, medicine and related. It is a unique doctoral study, not established at other faculty or university (they have mostly bachelor and master levels only)

Westlake University’s Biology department is a pioneering, supportive, and innovative community of scholar-practitioners focused on building excellence between the biological sciences and related branches of physical science, medicine, engineering, and material sciences.

The PhD program in Evolutionary Biology and Ecology focuses on the study of biological diversity and its evolution, as well as the behavior and relationships of living things, including humans, among themselves and with the environment. Evolutionary biology and ecology represent an integrated research area, which in many prestigious institutions is part of a single Department of Ecology and Evolution.

The Doctoral School of Biology and Spotbiology provides PhD in Biology and Sport Biology in a wide range of fields of biology and sports biology including genetics, microbiology, plant biology, ecology, regulatory biology, fitness, stress, sport, and immune system. Excellently equipped laboratories are available in the biology departments and at the Szentágothai Research Center of UP, as well as at the Balaton Limnological Institute. Through international contacts, we give the opportunity to our Ph.D. students mobility.
