About the employer

The Graduate School of Quantitative and Molecular Biosciences Munich (QMB) was established in 2012 under the German Excellence Initiative. Initially named Quantitative Biosciences Munich, the school expanded its focus in 2024, prompting the name change to reflect its broader scope. The international PhD training program at QMB emphasizes communication and collaboration across traditionally separate disciplines, including biochemistry, medicine, bioinformatics, experimental and theoretical biophysics, and applied mathematics.

QMB places a strong emphasis on experimental work while also encouraging students to engage in theoretical approaches to derive meaningful insights from their data. This dual focus on advanced quantitative experimentation and theoretical analysis, combined with the excellence of its participating scientists, positions QMB uniquely within the European scientific landscape.

Key elements of the QMB program are:

  • an interdisciplinary research project
  • a substantial program of formal course work
  • a professional skills program

QMB is a joint initiative by leading scientists from the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich, the Technical University Munich, the Max-Planck Institute of Biochemistry and the Helmholtz Center Munich.
