Courses and educational activities - Doctoral Programme in Tumour Biology and Oncology (FoTO)
FoTO offers a number of courses divided into basic and more advanced courses. Several of the basic courses are only held once a year. The advanced courses will be held at least once during the next four-year period, so please apply early and check this website for details!
Courses within the programme
Master’s programme in Biomedicine
The FoTO programme is organising a four-week course block every autumn term for master's students in biomedicine who have chosen the “tumour biology” track for their second year of deepening studies. The course programme addresses basic to advanced aspects of tumour biology.
Other educational activities
FoTO students are encouraged and expected to participate in at least one of these events once over the four-year period of their PhD training:
- The Cancer Research KI (CRKI) Retreat (held every Autumn)
- EACR Summer School in Translational Research (held every October)
- The International PhD Student Cancer Conference (IPSCC, held every summer)
- DKFZ PhD Student Retreat (held every summer)
Forthcoming activities
