Doctoral and Postdoctoral Researchers

The first cohort of doctoral researchers started working on July 1, 2024. A total of 12 young scientists can work on their research for four years thanks to funding from the DFG German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschunggemeinschaft). In addition, two postdoctoral researchers are currently pursuing their scientific careers as part of the research training group, working in close collaboration with the doctoral researchers. 

Along with the funded doctoral and postdoctoral positions, associated doctoral and postdoctoral researchers are working on SYLOBIO-related research questions.

Consortium

The consortium is composed of ten subprojects, which are divided into four research domains: INFLAMMATION (subprojects E01-E03), SYSTEMIC INTERAKTION (subprojects I01-I03), REGENERATION (subprojects R01, R02), and the cross-sectional area of EPIDEMIOLOGY & SYSTEMS BIOLOGY (subprojects Q01, Q02). In addition, various cooperation partners (see below) and associated scientists are involved in the research projects.
