The Interdisciplinary Center for Clinical Research of the University Hospital of Jena invites young scientists from all over the world to participate in the Summer School of Molecular Medicine. The Summer School will be held in August / September each year in Jena, Germany, and will provide an excellent opportunity to get familiar with research topics of molecular medicine and modern laboratory techniques. In addition, social events will provide a setting to meet and to learn more about the cultural life in Jena and its environs.
New program for the summer school 2022 is online! Application deadline : 20.03.2022
The Summer School Molecular Medicine 2022 will take place from 22 August 2022 till 24 September 2022.
Please note: Due to the Covid-19 pandemic we cannot guarantuee that our summer school will take place as onsite course. In addition, requirements not yet listed in the application form may be necessary. Information will be uploaded on our homepage as soon as possible and/or applicants will be informed by email.

We encourage you to apply!

The program is open to students who hold a Diploma or Master’s degree in biosciences, biochemistry, medicine or related fields. The candidates will complete a practical course consisting of modules from four different complexes (Molecular Biology, Signaling, Biophotonics and Disease). The courses are accompanied by a lecture series. Highly motivated candidates will have the possibility to apply for a PhD position in the participating research groups.
