The MBML International Graduate Programme is the umbrella programme that coordinates pulmonary research and training within the University of Giessen Lung Center.

 

In the past decades the work in biological and biomedical sciences has become more exciting and challenging. To the same extent it has become more complex and demanding. The successful scientist today can no longer rely on their expertise in only one area or one technique but must be able to make use of the constantly increasing amount of information, technologies, and experimental strategies beyond the boundaries defined by traditional university departments.

To help meet these modern expectations, the MBML have formed an interdisciplinary International Graduate Program including the schools of agricultural sciences, biology and microbiology, biochemistry, pharmacological sciences, medicine and veterinary medicine. Emphasizing the interface between clinical pulmonary medicine and research in basic sciences students receive the opportunity to study in the thriving environment of the Justus Liebig University of Giessen.

​

Over the period of three years students engage in cutting edge research projects investigating the physiology and pathophysiology of the lung in the interface of basic sciences and clinical medicine. Particular emphasis of the projects is put on the discovery of molecular mechanisms underlying diseases of the respiratory system potentially applicable to the development of new therapeutic strategies. The Program understands itself as a modern scientific career center preparing its successful graduates for competitive careers in biomedical research in academia, industry, or related businesses. The MBML offers a broad scheme of theoretical knowledge and transferable methodical skills and values interdisciplinary cooperations within the scientific community.
