FetalMed-PhD
offers students a unique opportunity to achieve an internationally
recognized joint PhD degree in the growing field of Fetal Medicine. The
programme contemplates research projects spanning all scientific
disciplines and all maturational stages relevant to fetal medicine,
from early fetal life to childhood.
In
addition, the programme will foster mobility between the three partner
universities in Barcelona (Spain), Leuven (Belgium) and Lund (Sweden)
and additional Associated Partners in industry and academia. Successful
graduates will thus have a broad and practical training that will
allow them to generate and apply solutions to Fetal Medicine that will
bridge academic, research and industrial disciplines.
The
three major research lines include (1) Prediction and prevention of
fetal programming, (2) Cardiovascular diseases and (3) Fetal therapy
and surgery.
The
programme is addressed to professionals from different backgrounds in
the fields of Clinical Medicine (obstetricians, radiologists,
cardiologists), Basic Science (Biologists, biochemistry) and Technology
(bio-engineers, physicists).
For
the first edition, we have available 5 EMJD fellowships for non-EU
nationals, 3 for EU-nationals and an additional 1 for West
Balkans/Turkey, although there is also place for candidates who are not
awarded a fellowship.
