Flexible research funding for clinician scientists
Before, during or after residency, and explicitly at the very beginning of a scientific career: we cordially invite physicians interested in the translational research area “Dynamics and Imaging of Inflammation and Infection” to apply for funding for a clinician-scientist rotation.
Our network is a partner in our Faculty of Medicine's Clinician Scientist Programme, which integrates all funding opportunities for research-active physicians at our university. Your questions are very welcome at any time – including outside the schedule of current calls!
