MyoGrad International research training group for Myology, Berlin and Paris/Versailles
Muscle wasting and weakness are devastating problems in patients with muscular dystrophies, cancer, cachexia, critical illness myopathy, and in aging people. New findings and treatment approaches are becoming increasingly important. MyoGrad is the first structured PhD training in muscle sciences worldwide. Highly qualified international PhD students complete a bi-nationally supervised thesis in the field of muscle-related cell and molecular biology or clinical aspects of muscle diseases. Participating institutions are Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Freie Universität Berlin, Max Delbück Center for Molecular Medicine, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris 6, and Université de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines.
In order to enable students to acquire a comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of muscle sciences, to gain hands-on experiences in practical workshops, and to prepare for a scientist’s life in career development courses without constant travel between the various locations in Berlin and Paris/Versailles, we offer onsite teaching in block schedules as well as single seminars via online conference technique.
