Besonderheiten:

The Graduate School of Cellular & Molecular Neurosciences has an explicit ‘research orientation’ with the goal of optimally preparing graduate students for demanding doctoral projects. This goal is achieved by two means: first, by recruiting active researchers as instructors who incorporate state-of-the-art neuroscientific questions and methods in their courses and, secondly, by implementing extensive periods of laboratory training where students engage in current research projects. The same is true for the experimental masters thesis of 6 months, which often serves as ‘seed crystal’ for a subsequent doctoral dissertation.

Kooperationen:

In Tübingen, neuroscience research and training is ‘without boundaries’:

  • it is interdisciplinary – it bridges gaps between traditionally separated disciplines,
  • it is interfaculty – it involves the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Medicine, including the University Clinics, and
  • it is interinstitutional – the University of Tübingen, the University Clinics, and several local, extra-university institutions are networked and cooperate in various research centres.

These three ‘inters’ are embodied in Tübingen’s joint platform of neuroscience, the Werner Reichardt Centre for Integrative Neuroscience (CIN), which forms ties with many partner institutions within and without the University (find a full overview here: https://www.neuroschool-tuebingen.de/about-imprs/participating-institutions/ ). The CIN and its partner institutions form the fundament and setting in which the Graduate Training Centre (GTC) is embedded, taking full advantage of the lively neuroscience research community, the large international faculty of renowned scientists, and the state-of-the-art facilities.

Area of Study and Research The Graduate School of Cellular & Molecular Neuroscience started in the fall of 2008 and, amongst other topics, it brings neurodegenerative diseases, the neurosensory systems and molecular imaging techniques and transgenic mouse technology into focus. The major partners of this graduate school are the Centre for Integrative Neuroscience – CIN, the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research – HIH, and the German Centre for Neurodegenerative Diseases – DZNE-Tübingen, which provide – in addition to financial support – scientists who make a considerable contribution to teaching and laboratory training.
