Introduction

The PhD program at the Institute of Molecular Genetics (IMG) and its sister Institute of Biotechnology (IBT) is part of a joint biomedical PhD program organized by Charles University and several institutes of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. Individual PhD programs focus on specific topics (e.g. immunology, cell biology etc.) and are organized by graduate boards. Currently, there are about 70 PhD students affiliated with the Institute.

The PhD program at the IMG and IBT focuses on molecular, cell and developmental biology, immunology, genetics and virology.

The IMG comprises 23 research groups and is supported by core facilities for microscopy and cytofluorometry, genomics, bioinformatics and antibody production. Early 2007 marked the grand opening of a brand new building located in the Academy campus in Krc, Prague-4. Therefore, the Institute is not only equipped with state-of-the-art equipment for microscopy and whole-genome analysis, but currently represents one of the most modern scientific facilities in Central Europe.

The IBT was founded on January 1st, 2008 by transformation of the Division of Biotechnology of the Institute of Molecular Genetics and currently comprises 6 research groups. The primary ambition of this new institute is to develop cutting-edge basic and applied research on topics opening for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in human medicine.
