Ph.D. students will attend to their chosen research project in the School labs and those of associated institutions, working under the supervision of a tutor. Students will be involved in a host of activities - from journal clubs, workshops, and training sessions in communication skills to a full spectrum of lectures organized during the Ph.D. program with a strong international representation. Participation in these activities is mandatory. Opportunities to carry out stages for complementary training in laboratories of national/international institutions are also provided by the Ph.D. program.
