CEPLAS – Cluster of Excellence on Plant Sciences – from complex traits towards synthetic modules is a joint effort of HHU, University of Cologne, Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research (MPIPZ) and Forschungszentrum Jülich. Researchers of these institutions are pursuing inventive strategies for sustainable plant production. The goal of this cluster initiative is to develop state of the art methods for a second green revolution on the basis of innovative basic research and established know-​how in plant research. CEPLAS focuses on cutting edge science as well as on the promotion of young scientists by novel study modules and individual training programmes.

The Graduiertenkolleg/Research Training Group GRK 2240: Algebro-Geometric Methods in Algebra, Arithmetic and Topology is funded by the The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). It is located at the Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf (HHU) and the Bergische Universität Wuppertal (BUW). The main goal of the research training group is the application of tools and results from Algebraic Geometry to pure mathematics, for instance in nearby areas of Algebraic Topology, Group Theory, K-theory, Model Theory, Number Theory and Representation Theory. The emphasis is on the qualification of doctoral researchers within the framework of a focused research program and a structured training strategy.

The recruitment process for the next 9 PhD positions has begun. Please visit our job offers for more details.

iBrain, the interdisciplinary graduate school for brain research and translational neuroscience at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU), provides a first-​class research training and qualification program for doctoral researchers working in any of the research groups of the Neuroscience Network Düsseldorf (NND). iBrain is supported by institutional funds of HHU and its Medical Faculty. The common theme of the doctoral projects pursued in iBrain is the investigation of important mechanisms involved in brain function and their disturbances in common brain diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, CNS trauma and brain tumors, with the goal to identify novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets for these mostly incurable diseases. Early stage researchers with a background in the natural sciences or medicine are provided with expert knowledge and skills in basic and translational neuroscience research. For further information on the individual research areas, principal investigators and participating institutions please visit the webpages of the Neuroscience Network Düsseldorf (NND).

The aim of the Graduate School is to implement a unique training for scientific PhD researchers in the field of infectiology. The young researchers will be trained to discover new strategies for the elimination / clearance of pathogens from the infected host. The projects undertaken by the Manchot Graduate School "Molecules of Infection" (GS MOI) concentrate on molecules that play important roles during infections, and these will be characterized in the context of specific disease models.

In nature, microorganisms interact and communicate with one another, exchanging nutrients and information, an active process we call "networking".

MibiNet aims to understand microbial networking in their full complexity to explain how organelles evolve and how microbiome functions.

Der Sonderforschungsbereich (SFB) 1774 untersucht, warum Menschen mit Typ-2-Diabetes (T2D) weiterhin ein hohes Risiko für Herzinfarkt, Herzinsuffizienz und andere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen haben. Kardiodiabetes bildet das zentrale Forschungskonzept unseres SFBs: Stoffwechsel- und Herz-Kreislauf-Funktionsstörungen entwickeln sich gemeinsam, oft bereits bevor Diabetes diagnostiziert wird.
