The PhD program CaVX focuses on the roles of calcium channels in health and disease, particularly in neuroscience. Enrolled students will receive specialized training in ion channel signaling processes, exploring their critical functions in various physiological and pathological contexts. The program provides extensive research opportunities in a vibrant academic environment, facilitating collaboration and expert guidance.

Students will study the mechanisms underlying calcium signaling in excitable cells, with a focus on their applications in neural function and dysfunction. The program encompasses diverse research topics, from cellular mechanisms to behavioral ramifications in neuroscience, emphasizing the intersection of molecular biology and physiology.

The program is organized into research phases, coursework, and thesis preparation. Candidates will engage in hands-on research from the start, complemented by seminars and workshops. The timeline involves initial training, project development, and culminates in a dissertation focused on original research.
