Talent development
[Translate to English:] Institut for Molekylærbiologi og Genetik er med ca. 140 ph.d.-studerende (heraf knap halvdelen fra udlandet) et aktivt og inspirerende miljø for unge forskere.
Instituttet har et specielt seminarprogram - Kjeldgaard Lectures in Molecular Biology - der er oprettet med henblik på at give de studerende indblik i mange forskellige forskningsområder inden for instituttets kerneområder. Anerkendte forskere fra hele verden bliver inviteret af instituttet til at holde disse foredrag. Foredragene bliver efterfulgt at en speciel ph.d.-session, hvor de studerende får mulighed for at møde foredragsholderen helt uformelt og måske få inspiration eller kontakt til videre postdoc-studier i udlandet.
For at give medarbejdere og studerende inspiration til samarbejde med erhvervslivet eller oprette eget firma har instituttet oprettet et specielt program - Brian Clark Biotech Lectures - hvor forskere fra erhvervslivet bliver inviteret for at fortælle om deres erfaringer. Der er også mulighed for at tage en såkaldt ErhvervsPhD, hvor forskningsprojektet gennemføres i et samarbejde mellem en privat virksomhed, en den studerende og universitetet.
Da de fleste af instituttets forskere har udenlandske samarbejdspartnere er der gode muligheder for at arbejde sammen med udenlandske forskere og måske blive udstationeret i et udenlandsk laboratorium under ph.d.-studiet. Disse kontakter danner ofte basis for efterfølgende postdoc-studier i udlandet.

Successful recruitment of highly motivated foreign PhD students
The molecular biosciences departments at Aarhus University have been successful in recruiting talented foreign PhD students who contribute with extensive knowledge, new ideas and methods, exciting foreign culture and, above all, a contagious motivation.
PhD student help finding a new method
New method for single cell analysis may improve cancer treatment
A collaboration between Danish and American researchers has resulted in the development of a new method that enables the measurement of enzyme activities in individual human cells. This method can be used to measure how cell-to-cell variation in tumours affects the overall response to chemotherapy and thus clarify some of the molecular causes of the chemo-resistance often seen in cancer patients. In the long run, the researchers hope that the method can be used to target chemotherapy to those patients who benefit from this treatment. Read more.
