This doctoral program aims to inspire medical students to pursue an academic career during their studies by introducing them to science in a structured way and allowing them to experience the fascination of biomedical research at first hand. The aim is to identify the molecular determinants of the age-specificity of immune-mediated diseases, to better understand the causes of age-specific differences in disease progression and to develop new therapeutic strageies on this basis. For this reason, a tandem concept is pursued in this research training group, in which one medical and one scientific doctoral student work together on a project (in different aspects).
