The ZIBI Graduate School Berlin provides an umbrella structure for graduate training programs with a focus on research in infection and immunity. We aim to bridge the traditional divide between individual disciplines and to provide a truly interdisciplinary framework for the doctoral researchers. Our mission is to enable doctoral candidates to become creative, responsible and self-confident young researchers. The school encourages candidates to conduct independent research using interdisciplinary approaches at the molecular, cellular, and organismal level.

The ZIBI Graduate School is a member of Dahlem Research School Biomedical Sciences.
