The purpose of the PhD in Health Sciences: Biomedical Sciences is to produce graduates that are competent in conducting scientific research under minimal guidance in a chosen field, and to contribute to knowledge production in that field. The research problem, its justification, process and outcome are to be reported in a dissertation that complies with the generally accepted norms for research at these levels.

Biomedical informatics is a rapidly developing field whose content matter is, above all, the use of computers and information technologies (IT), system approach, statistics and epidemiology, and mathematical methodologies in medicine. Biomedical informatics is experiencing permanent development, and at present, it is focused on these major problem areas: the area of support to clinical decision-making, biomedical statistics, robotics, computer modeling, image processing; and the area of medical information systems. In clinical medicine, it means the following areas: clinical computing, analyses of images, issues of biosignal, computer modeling, artificial intelligence (including expert systems), support of decision-making, issues of statistics and biometrics, classification in medicine, computers in operating the devices, robotic and artificial organs. In the areas of information systems, the issues of their implementation in health care settings are tackled as well as specific questions of data protection and ethical problems and creation of hospital information systems. In the areas of theoretical medicine, it is mainly about modeling physiologic functions and issues of bioinformatics. The program is carried out without any specialization.

The Teaching Division of Biomedical Sciences offers a wide range of specialization tracks, combining research and studies in medical and life sciences with emphasis on understanding the functioning of the human body in situations of health and disease. The program prepares its graduates for teaching and research positions in academic institutions, and research and works in knowledge-intensive industries, hospitals, and healthcare systems.

Initiated about 20 years ago, the PhD Program in Biomedical Sciences is an interdisciplinary graduate program, providing rigorous training in modern cell and molecular biology. The departmental faculty provides a highly interdisciplinary and intensely collaborative training environment.

Advancements in genetics and genomics have spurred the emergence of Precision Medicine, which revolutionizes traditional medical approaches by utilizing vast molecular data for personalized disease diagnosis and treatment. The PhD in National PhD in Systems Medicine aims to equip professionals with interdisciplinary skills in biomedical sciences, preparing them to address precision medicine challenges through technological strategies and multidisciplinary approaches.

The Pharmacological Biomolecular Sciences, Experimental and Clinical doctoral program trains biomedical experts in modern pharmacological research through multidisciplinary approaches. It encompasses basic research, pharmacological-toxicological studies, innovative drug development systems, and technical-scientific collaboration. Students develop competencies for translating discoveries into clinical practice, benefiting public health and socio-economics.

A PhD student must:

The subject of the study program within the concept of the complex biomedical fields is the issue of physical processes in a living organism, the influence of physical factors on living organisms, and the use of modern physical methods in biomedical fields. Biophysics, as an interdisciplinary field, offers doctoral (Ph.D.) study to university graduates of various specializations (medicine, natural sciences, mathematics, physics, etc.). The study program is carried out in collaboration with the Institute of Physiology of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.

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.

Our goal is to cultivate the next generation of pioneering researchers and leaders in medical science through a PhD programme that emphasises innovation, collaboration, and excellence.

Our four years Ph.D. program in Biomedical Sciences has been designed to generate a new generation of researchers, who will shape research in Kazakhstan and on the international level. It addresses highly motivated students, who want to be part of a research community working on finding causes and treatments for a variety of different diseases. Our School has strong ties to the hospitals around Nur-Sultan and is therefore in an ideal position as a link between bench and bedside. Our researchers are working on various topics among them cancer, inflammatory and infectious diseases.

Welcome to the Ph.D. program Genomic and Molecular Medicine – Personalized Approaches to Childhood Health (GMM). This international and interdisciplinary program is part of the Dr. von Hauner Children’s Hospital and the Munich Medical Research School.

The PhD in Translational Medicine is a three-year Programme. The Mission of Pro- gram is to educate and train post-gradua- te students with different academic backgrounds and highly motivated to pursue a career in experimental biomedicine and/or clinical research.

The San Raffaele University, top-ranked among the research universities in Italy, offers a PhD program aimed to provide excellent guidance, support and training to graduate students interested in understanding the molecular processes underlying human diseases and in designing new approaches for their treatment.
