6 PhD Positions, European Industrial Doctorate Training Network 4D Heart, Europe (2017)

6 PhD student positions are available to develop their thesis within the European Industrial Doctorate Training Network 4D Heart. In vivo imaging and the possibility to evaluate cellular behaviour in a developing, regenerating, living and beating heart is an invaluable tool to investigate the biological principles governing the cardiovascular system and those that impact cardiovascular health. This EID training network will provide an innovative blend of training to early stage researchers at the intersection of the fields of cardiovascular biology, optics and biocomputing through a co-mentorship between an academic and industrial partner and a joint multidisciplinary training program.
