The Leuven International Doctoral School Biomedical Sciences is a lively community counting over 1250 PhD researchers, more than 250 supervisors and a dedicated administrative staff. Together we share the ambition to: - Train biomedical researchers to explore the fundamentals of living systems at all levels - from gene to cell to body and mind - and to leverage that knowledge to improve human health. By nurturing today's researchers the doctoral school contributes to a healthier world tomorrow. - Provide an integrated framework for doctoral training that includes basic biomedical research, clinical research and public health research. We believe in the cross-fertilization between disciplines and technologies and between health care professionals and scientists. We encourage PhD researchers to dynamically explore the link between health and disease. - Offer career perspectives for doctoral graduates in different sectors. Researchers aspiring to a career in biomedical sciences will find in Leuven a stimulating environment to fulfil their ambitions.
