• PhD-Programmes
• Studies, Training and Further Education
• Medical Neuroscience Cluster

There are several thematic PhD programmes at the Medical University of Vienna that cover topics in the field of Neuroscience.

The main difference between the various PhD programmes is whether they represent an "open" PhD program in which PhD students are recruited via application to an individual research laboratory or whether PhD students apply for a "Self Contained" PhD program at special calls. A detailed description of the individual PhD programmes can be found at the homepages of the PhD programmes (see below). For general information about PhD studies at the Medical University of Vienna, please » click here .

 "Open" doctoral programmes:

• Neuroscience
• Clinical Neurosciences (CLINS)
• Mental Health and Behavioural Medicine
• Molecular Signal Transduction

"Self Contained" PhD Programmes (Doktoratskollegs) funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF):

• Cell Communication in Health and Disease (CCHD)

• Department of Biomedical Imaging and Image-guided Therapy

For doctors who have a special interest in scientific work, we offer the possibility to do a doctorate program. PhD projects will be carried out under guidance, giving you a chance to deepen your knowledge in the area of your thesis question. 

PhD Program: N094 Medical Imaging Medical imaging is a research area that provides a bridge between basic and clinical science. It serves the common goal of developing and evaluating new techniques for the image-based diagnosis and image-guided treatment for a broad spectrum of diseases. This is critical for understanding physiologic variability and disease-related changes, for the development of new imaging biomarkers and diagnostic approaches, and finally, for clinical application. Accordingly, various scientific disciplines are involved, including radiology, nuclear medicine and radiopharmacy, biomedical technology and medical physics, IT, machine learning, image manipulation, radio-oncology, ophthalmology, and psychiatry. This multidisciplinary approach is contrary to that in Medical Imaging Cluster (MIC). Coordinator: Please inform yourself about the course of PhD work – application, submission info, and rules are on the website of MedUni Wien ( PhD Programmme UN094 ).

Our group is studying how myeloid cell activation, differentiation and function is impacted during the clearance of dying/dead cells also called efferocytosis. Defective efferocytosis by myeloid cells especially by scavenging cells called macrophages is associated with inflammation and tissue damage and plays a role in various diseases, including obesity related diseases, such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), it‘s aggressive inflammatory form, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Key questions fueling our research are: When a cell dies, how do the secreted metabolites and lipids therein and the celluar corpse reprogram macrophages? How is efferocytosis regulated by the lipid-rich enviroment present during obesity? How does lipid scavenging and efferocytosis influence NASH and HCC development? What is the impact of local versus systemic signals on disease progression and macrophage metabolic reprogramming?

To answer these questions, we combine cell culture models with both preclinical animal models of obesity driven hepatic fibrosis/cancer and patient-derived material. Applying various high throughput approaches herein, we aim to identify new pathways and targets altered in inflammation and cancer.

Omar Sharif studied Molecular Biology at University of Glasgow (UK) and obtained his PhD in Biochemistry at University of Dundee (UK). He perfomed post-doctoral training in the laboratory of infection biology with Prof. Sylvia Knapp at the Medical University of Vienna. There, he worked on several immune receptors primarily expressed by myeloid cells that regulate the intensity and duration of innate immune responses during clinically relevant bacterial infections, such as pneumococcal pneumonia. He obtained his first Austrian Science Fund (FWF) stand alone project in 2013 and was senior post-doc and project lead at the Research Centre for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (CeMM) from 2013 to 2016. From 2017 to 2018, he was senior scientist at the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Cancer Research, Vienna. In 2018, he joined the Centre for Physiology and Pharmacology at the Medical University of Vienna, where he is currently a Principal Investigator. His lab focuses on adipose tissue and liver macrophage biology and how macrophage mediated inflammatory responses impact organismal physiology in health and disease. Aside from directing CDLab-InSpiReD, he is currently project lead on an FWF project examining the relative contributions of TREM2 expression in adipocytes versus macrophages to metabolic disease.

Short description of CLINS

Purpose of CLINS: To accredit early stage medical scientists with scientific competence which enables them to improve biomedical practice by means of research Neuroscience is a main focus of research and high-end medicine at the Medical University Vienna. The aim of Clinical Neurosciences is innovation in prevention, diagnosis, and therapy of disorders of the nervous and muscular systems.  The professional doctoral program ?Clinical Neurosciences? (CLINS) addresses neurological, psychiatric and neuro-muscular disorders in fetus, children, and adults. Interdisciplinary interaction of diagnostic and therapeutic disciplines in combination with basic biomedical research is a key element of the program. CLINS will provide students with scientific competence enabling them to improve biomedical practice by means of research. CLINS is complementary to the basic research PhD program ?Neuroscience? (coordinator: Johannes Berger, Brain Research Institute). Mutual guest lectures and translational research projects will link the applied and basic research doctoral programs.
