National Doctoral Programme in Infections and Antibiotics

 Funded 3 (+5) years by the Swedish Research Council (VR)

 Connects SE research environments: infection biology + infectious diseases  Basic and clinical research

 PhD students + postdocs

 Based on collaboration - National Infection Biology Network (NIB)  Aims:

 Strengthen the national recruitment base and quality

 Promote research on infectious disease and other risks to health  Strengthen domestic and international networking

 Annual network meetings

 Coordinated by the Laboratory of Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden (MIMS) at Umeå University

The Swedish EMBL node:

Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden

 National infrastructure in The Nordic EMBL Partnership for

Molecular Medicine

 National Network of Infection Biology

 National Clinical Research Fellows (CRF) programme

• MIMS - “the EMBL-model”

• New Group Leaders 5yrs + (max 9yrs)

start-up package:

- 2 PhD-students - 1-2 post-docs

- State-of-the-art infrastructure - Administrative support
