PhD
Two doctoral schools (écoles doctorales) are linked to our Graduate School G.E.N.E : Hematology – Oncogenesis – Biotherapies (HOB – ED 561) et Bio Sorbone Paris Cité (BioSPC – ED 562)
If you are a 3rd year PhD student from one these doctoral schools and you need additional time to complete your thesis, enhance publications, or transition to a postdoctoral position, you can apply to our G.E.N.E. Mentor program.
Our doctoral schools
Doctoral school: Hematology – Oncogenesis – Biotherapies (HOB)
The doctoral school “Hematology – Oncogenesis – Biotherapies” (HOB – ED 561) has chosen to focus the research themes offered to doctoral students in key areas of health research in order to match training with the opportunities resulting from the societal demand. The school is in three major areas: Oncogenesis, Hematology, Biotherapy and Biotechnology.
The doctoral school HOB supports experimental and clinical work aimed at elucidating oncogenesis mechanisms specific to different types of solid or hematopoietic tumors in order to develop medical tools for the personalized management of cancers (diagnosis, treatment and follow-up).
Doctoral school: Bio Sorbone Paris Cité (BioSPC)
The Bio Sorbonne Paris Cité (BioSPC – ED 562) Doctoral School results from the merger of two doctoral schools: the B3MI Doctoral School of Paris Diderot University and the Gc2iD Doctoral School of Paris Descartes University. This new doctoral school offers a wide range of fields that cover most disciplines of Biology and an offer of laboratories for the preparation of the thesis.
The scientific scope of the ED BioSPC covers cell and molecular biology, development, immunology, infectiology, genetics, neurobiology, physiology, physiopathology, reproduction and aging.
