Doctoral Programme in Immunology
The Doctoral Programme in Immunology (ImmuDocs) trains doctoral researchers with in-depth knowledge of immunological research and the scientific and methodological capacity to pursue careers in research and other fields requiring a high level of expertise. By combining rigorous high-quality academic training with practical hands-on research experience and strong professional networks, ImmuDocs empowers researchers to address complex challenges in human health and immunology.
The doctoral researchers of ImmuDocs doctoral programme pursue a doctoral degree either in the Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Science, Faculty of Technology or Turku School of Economics.
The ImmuDocs doctoral programme at the University of Turku offers a nationally and internationally recognized environment for advanced doctoral education in immunology. In addition, ImmuDocs covers related fields, including immunology-based drug development, diagnostics, and technology development. With a strong foundation in the University’s long-standing immunological research, the programme is closely affiliated with the national InFLAMES Flagship, providing doctoral researchers with access to a broad network of academic, clinical, and industry partners, as well as the latest developments in translational immunology. ImmuDocs fosters a vibrant research community and supports participation in collaborative projects across disciplines and sectors.
Doctoral Pilot Programme in Immunology will be replaced by Doctoral Programme in Immunology 1.1.2026 onwards. Forthcoming calls will be opened by Doctoral Programme in Immunology.
