<strong>EURON</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>THEME</strong> <strong>joint</strong> <strong>meeting</strong> 2011<br />

<strong>THEME</strong> International Graduate School of Theoretical <strong>and</strong> Experimental<br />

Medicine<br />

The Faculty of Medicine in collaboration with the Faculty of Mathematics<br />

<strong>and</strong> Natural Science <strong>and</strong> the University Hospital of Bonn provide an excellent<br />

infrastructure for life science oriented research. The scientific <strong>and</strong> educational<br />

framework of <strong>THEME</strong> is built by renowned groups covering the main research<br />

fields of the Faculty of Medicine focused on:<br />

• Neuroscience<br />

• Genetics <strong>and</strong> Epidemiology of Human Diseases<br />

• Diseases of the Cardiovascular System<br />

Research encompasses a broad range of topics from molecular mechanisms<br />

in the development <strong>and</strong> progression of diseases to prevention, diagnosis <strong>and</strong><br />

treatment. It also includes patient oriented clinical research.<br />

Courses of the study programme of <strong>THEME</strong> include lectures, seminars <strong>and</strong><br />

practical courses <strong>and</strong> are integrated into the research fields mentioned above.<br />

<strong>THEME</strong> communicates relevant theoretical <strong>and</strong> practical skills needed for a<br />

successful thesis <strong>and</strong> prepares for a career in medical <strong>and</strong> life science research.<br />

<strong>THEME</strong> does not rely on external funding which specifically supports a graduate<br />

school. Rather it provides a framework for Ph.D. students working within<br />

peer reviewed projects mostly funded by the German Research Foundation<br />

(DFG), the EU of the German Ministry of Science. Therefore it is a permanent<br />

institution within the Medical Faculty of the University of Bonn which aims<br />

to continuously improve the conditions for a succesful accomplishment of an<br />

excellent Ph.D thesis.
