The AITHYRA-CeMM PhD Program offers an exceptional opportunity for aspiring scientists to a cutting-edge, international research environment at two leading institutes in Europe: AITHYRA, the new Research Institute for Biomedical Artificial Intelligence, and CeMM, the Research Center for Molecular Medicine, both part of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna.
AITHYRA and CeMM are sister institutes with identical principles of excellence, competitiveness, internationality, as well as mentoring and training, operating in a unique mode of super-cooperation. Biology is connected with medicine, experiments with computation, discovery with translation, and science with society and the arts.
Interdisciplinary collaboration at its core
What sets the AITHYRA-CeMM PhD Program apart is its interdisciplinary and collaborative research culture. Our teams bring together life scientists, medical doctors, computer scientists, chemists, mathematicians, and physicists to solve complex biomedical questions. This diverse academic environment fosters innovation and scientific discovery.
PhD students are not only immersed in world-class biomedical research but also trained in project communication and management, preparing them for leadership roles in translational science and beyond.
A global, inclusive scientific community
At AITHYRA and CeMM, diversity drives discovery. Our PhD community includes students from 26 nationalities, working together in English in an open and inclusive atmosphere. We believe that diverse perspectives inspire creativity and lead to more impactful science.
As of the end of 2024, 105 students have successfully completed their PhD at CeMM, with 83 more currently pursuing their research journeys with us.
