Graduate School for Cellular and Biomedical Sciences (GCB)

Md-phd program.

The MD-PhD Program enables medical students with an interest in research to prepare them for a career in medical research. Medical research encompasses all forms of research into the causes of diseases, the development of diseases, as well as the scientific debate of their prevention, detection and treatment, and includes patient-oriented clinical research.

The MD-PhD program includes teaching and research modules. Successful graduates can obtain the doctoral title «Doctor of Medicine and Philosophy (MD,PhD)» or «PhD in Health Sciences (Clinical Sciences)», depending on the subject of the research project, and according to the regulations of the Graduate Schools GCB or GHS.

Successful completion of studies in human medicine, veterinary medicine or dentistry is mandatory to sign up for the MD-PhD Program. The goal is to equip MD-PhD graduates with the required scientific competence, which enables them to contribute to disease- and patient-oriented research. Preferentially, they should not lose contact with the clinic and complete their clinical training, or pursue a career in a medical research institute after completion of the MD-PhD training.

For MD-PhD graduates who are pursuing a clinical activity, specialist training FMH is still essential. In some disciplines, it is possible to take into account one to two years of the MD-PhD Program for the specialist training. Candidates are advised to seek information about this possibility within the relevant medical specialization.

Becoming a Researcher: The MD-PhD Program

At the beginning of the third year of medical studies, the lecture «Karriereplanung» also includes information on the MD-PhD Program, and interested medical students can contact the coordinator of the Graduate School for personal assistance in putting together an individual training program.

The MD-PhD Program consists of a basic training and of the PhD thesis .

During the basic training, comprising 25 ECTS credit points, the students complete additional course work in subjects which are suitable for preparing them for their particular research project (e.g. cell biology/biochemistry, molecular biology, immunology, neurobiology, tumor biology, etc.). A maximum of 10 ECTS can be acquired with experimental work during an internship of three to six months in a research laboratory (1 ECTS per week of laboratory work & written report), or by conducting an experimental MD thesis. The research part of the medical dissertation is, as far as possible, also completed during the medical studies, and will lead to the title of «Dr. med.», according to the doctoral regulations of the Faculty of Medicine. On request, the experimental work can also be conducted outside the University of Bern. The basic training can be carried out either in parallel to the medical studies during the fourth to sixth year (Track I), or during the research work for the PhD thesis (Track II) . Track I Students receive personal mentoring by experienced researchers.

The place of work for the PhD thesis should be chosen as early as possible, and a master thesis based on experimental research is recommended in order to gain insight into research methods. The rules for conducting the PhD thesis are based on the guidelines of the PhD Programs of the Graduate Schools ( www.gcb.unibe.ch & www.ghs.unibe.ch ). In the course of the PhD studies, clinical activity with a maximum of 20% of the working time is possible and also recommended. Candidates are advised to start the PhD thesis immediately after the state exam; as a rule, it takes three to four years. It is possible and makes sense that the PhD thesis is a (non-overlapping) continuation and deepening of the MD (Dr. med.) thesis. In exceptional cases, the MD-PhD Program can be joined even after initial clinical training. In such cases, the PhD Committee of the Graduate School decides on a case-by-case basis on the admission to Track II. Track II Students should already have completed a medical doctorate (Dr. med.) and should aim at acquiring the required ECTS at the beginning of their MD-PhD studies (i.e., in the first year). The institute or laboratory where MD-PhD studies are carried out must document a high-quality research activity and ensure comprehensive supervision and guidance for doctoral candidates. The head of the dissertation must be involved in research in the field of the planned dissertation, during at least 30% of the working hours, and as a rule, be a recipient of SNSF funding as main applicant.

Application for the MD-PhD Program Track I

Interested candidates should contact PD Dr. Monica Schaller , Coordinator, for an appointment.

Your tasks:

Project title: The role of ER-mitochondria signalling in PRKN-associated Parkinson´s disease

The focus of the project concerns the role of the E3 ubiquitin ligase Parkin in the pathogenesis of Parkinson´s disease. Parkin is critically involved in mitophagy, the regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis, mtDNA maintenance and metabolic function, possibly by regulating the interplay of mitochondria and the ER. In the planned project, we want to investigate how Parkin is involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and mitochondrial DNA maintenance and what role the contact sites between mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum play in this context. The results will help to elucidate at the cellular level how mitochondrial dysfunction is involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease.

For this project, neuronal cell cultures from induced pluripotent stem cells obtained from healthy controls and from Parkinson's patients with mutations in Parkin are used. Using state-of-the-art super-resolution live cell microscopy (Airyscan technology), interorganelle structures and functions are investigated, such as the transfer of calcium ions between mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondrial DNA, or the function and interaction of different organelles.

In the project, we are working closely with European partners from the University of Luxembourg: Prof. Anne Grünewald from the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) is an expert in the field of Parkin-induced disruption of mitochondrial DNA in the context of Parkinson's disease. Prof. Gunnar Dittmar from the Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH) works in the field of proteomics analysis using mass spectrometry and will investigate the proteome of different organelle interaction sites.

Your profile:

• Excellent university degree (Master's or comparable) in biology / biochemistry / biotechnology or related natural sciences
• Enjoy experimental work and interest in clinically oriented basic research
• Experience with cell culture and molecular biology methods (microscopy, Western blot, PCR) is an advantage
• Ability to work independenty and ability to familiarize yourself with new issues
• Good knowledge of written and spoken English

TESTIMONIAL

Ompatile Butale, student:

— It was a warm, autumn morning after a 14 hour long train ride from Novomoskovsk, when I first set foot on the land of Samara. My very first experience of Samara State Technical University was at the main building where I handed in my documents. It looked much better than it did when I liked it up on the internet, a beautiful, bright white, multi-storey building. In the office for international students, I was very surprised to meet people who spoke very good English. They are all very kind and helpful. Each time I enter the room they are always happy to see me. After we got my documents sorted out, one young lady from the office at the time kindly offered to drive us to my hostel in her own car, luggage and all!

I’ve made very good friends in the group and I am yet to make more. All my group-mates are intrigued and ask me questions about Africa and my country Botswana and how it’s like. I still do my best to answer all their questions. It would be nice if they could visit and tour the natural beauty of Botswana.

Every semester for three semesters, I attended English language conferences which I enjoyed very much. There is a wide variety of presentations by many bright students with a passion for learning and speaking English. It was also very interesting to listen to and learn from them, as well as from the special guests. In one of the conferences the special guest was a man from America. He made an interesting presentation about Education in America. In the last conference I attended the guest of honour was a Taiwanese lady who gave us an informative about the interesting aspects of the culture of Taiwan. These conferences were a great opportunity to talk about my country. I talked much about the education, engineering and about the culture of Botswana.

One of the greatest attractions in Samara is the Volga River. I remember learning about the Volga in geography class at school. It’s pretty amazing to actually see it live and have the opportunity to visit it regularly.

If you are planning to be a foreign student in SSTU my advice to you would be to study very hard and use this opportunity to learn something new. Do your best to try to understand what is being taught and how it can help you in future. It is easier to be motivated to study and finish projects on time if you know why you are doing it.

I am really happy to be studying in Samara State technical University. It is I wonderful experience I may even share with my grandchildren. I’m sure many other foreign students like me would want to experience this and so I urge them to enroll!

Joel Nkangi, student:

— Studying at SSTU in itself is an experience of its own. Apart from being a historic university in this region, its one of the best of its kind in areas of Engineering, Chemistry and Physics, as its equipped with modern technology. As a student here, you'll be equipped with the necessary skills required to face the demands of the current job market, and with the supportive staff who are at the same time working professionals in their respective fields, you're guaranteed to have the best information you'll ever need from experience after all, who else knows better how to teach a particular trade than a person working in that same trade.
