IRTG 2251: ICSMD

The International Research Training Group (IRTG) 2251 "Immunological and Cellular Strategies in Metabolic Disease" (ICSMD) at the Technische Universität Dresden and the King's College London aims at providing outstanding PhD students with a specialized but interdisciplinary programme that offers tandem supervision by two principal investigators and the opportunity to acquire certificates from both institutions.

The goal of the IRTG 2251 is to enable PhD students to acquire the skills needed to perform independent research and to qualify them for ambitious international careers in a broad-ranging employment market within a three years (PhD) curriculum. The programme will accomplish this goal by exposing the students to an interdisciplinary academic environment at two excellent institutions in Dresden and London that features internationally competitive research. The qualification programme for the PhD students in Dresden is embedded within the Regenerative Medicine track of the Dresden International PhD Program DIPP (www.dresden-ipp.de).
