EDBB

Biotechnology & Bioengineering

The Doctoral Program in Biotechnology and Bioengineering (EDBB) provides doctoral students with the education necessary to be leaders in the fast-growing industrial and academic biotechnology and bioengineering sectors. Students gain a depth of knowledge and competence in their specific research area as well as a breadth of knowledge in biology, bioengineering and biotechnology.

The combination of coursework, laboratory based research, in-house seminars, and national and international conferences, etc. form the basis of this education.

The program’s themes include:

genomics and proteomics
biomolecular engineering and biomaterials
stem cell biotechnology
cell and process engineering
biochemical engineering
orthopaedic engineering
biomechanics, mechanobiology
cell biophysics
computational biology
biomedical imaging
molecular, cell and tissue engineering.

The EPFL Doctoral School will soon launch two calls for applications for EPFLglobaLeaders, a new doctoral fellowship programme funding early stage researchers to become leaders in the transition towards sustainable societies. Forty-eight doctoral fellows will benefit from a multifaceted training programme, including a secondment in the non-academic sector. More information: https://go.epfl.ch/EPFLglobaLeaders
