The PhD program prepares students for a career in research; advancing the frontiers of biomedical science and engineering with attention to generating new ideas for commercialization.

Developmental and cell biology are dynamic fields that integrate molecular biology, biochemistry, histology, and functional morphology, in the context of both evolution and ontogenesis, in one unifying view of life on the cellular level. The study, which typically takes four years to complete, involves intense science training under the guidance of a supervisor and extends the education on M.Sc. level by specialized courses. Courses are guaranteed by specialists from the Faculty of Science and 1st Faculty of Medicine of Charles University as well as experts from the institutes of the Academy of Science (majority of them from IMG). Students can work on their doctoral projects in the above institutions as well as in hospitals, clinical laboratories, institutions of applied research, or, less frequently, in the biotech development segments of private companies. Students discuss the progress of their research at Ph.D. conferences in their oral presentations or posters. Project plans can be also implemented as parts of grant applications. Student mobilities help them to get acquainted with the international dimension of scientific collaboration. The outcome of their scientific work is presented at international conferences and as publications in impacted international journals. Members of the oversight committee and the head of the program supervise students' projects and work with students on an individual basis. Students are encouraged to make independent opinions based on the literature they study.

Biomedical informatics is a rapidly developing field whose content matter is, above all, the use of computers and information technologies (IT), system approach, statistics and epidemiology, and mathematical methodologies in medicine. Biomedical informatics is experiencing permanent development, and at present, it is focused on these major problem areas: the area of support to clinical decision-making, biomedical statistics, robotics, computer modeling, image processing; and the area of medical information systems. In clinical medicine, it means the following areas: clinical computing, analyses of images, issues of biosignal, computer modeling, artificial intelligence (including expert systems), support of decision-making, issues of statistics and biometrics, classification in medicine, computers in operating the devices, robotic and artificial organs. In the areas of information systems, the issues of their implementation in health care settings are tackled as well as specific questions of data protection and ethical problems and creation of hospital information systems. In the areas of theoretical medicine, it is mainly about modeling physiologic functions and issues of bioinformatics.

The Ph.D. in Engineering provides maximum flexibility for students to address 21st-century challenges through their studies and research.

Once accepted into either the Ph.D. in Biomedical Science, or the Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering program, and prior to the identification of a dissertation mentor, students will be advised by the First Year Advisory Committee (FYA).

The Centre for Regenerative Medicine and Devices focuses its medical research expertise on major clinical conditions and developing treatments. Our research brings deep scientific knowledge, allowing breakthrough innovation across clinical applications and key enabling technologies, as well as developing the role of public and patient participation.

The school's comprehensive medical industry system in the central region can effectively provide a place for clinical medicine and human experiment development in the training of innovation and entrepreneurship of biomedical translation talents.

Biomedical engineering involves the application of engineering principles and methods to define and solve problems in medicine and biology. The objective of the Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering program is to produce graduates who can identify future applications in the field, analyze current technology capability, and synthesize new solutions that extend the state of the art in biomedical applications.

The Biomedical Engineering Ph.D. program is focused on scientific research and independent research in a multidisciplinary biomedical engineering environment. This field arose from the need to single out the interactions of the living organism from the traditional engineering disciplines, which is specified in a number of ways.

The Ph.D. in Engineering provides maximum flexibility for students to address 21st-century challenges through their studies and research.
