PhD Program "Vascular Biology"

• Studies, Training and Further Education
• Cardiovascular Medicine Research Cluster
• PhD Program "Vascular Biology"

The PhD program provides cutting-edge research training and education in different fields of Vascular Biology and allows students to use their knowledge not only in basic research, but also in many clinical disciplines. The program is made up of many Medical University Vienna members from various departments with the goal of training students for careers as independent investigators for research-based positions both in academia and in industry with a focus on Vascular Biology.

Vascular biology is a rapidly evolving field in medical research. During the past decades it became more and more evident that blood vessels are a very complex system, which is involved in the regulation of a variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes in the organism.

The cellular substrate of Vascular Biology are cells of the vascular wall such as endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, pericytes, and fibroblasts, as well as cells that interact with the vascular wall such as leukocytes or platelets, the products of megakaryocytes. Endothelial cells, leukocytes, and platelets participate in the regulation of blood coagulation, which prevents excessive blood loss after injury. However, if blood coagulation is disturbed, thrombus formation occurs. These thrombi may then lead to the occlusion of blood vessels, which results in malperfusion of the respective tissues and – depending on the localization – in events such as myocardial infarction or stroke. In addition, the process of clot dissolution or fibrinolysis is regulated by endothelial cells, but also by mast cells.

An important area within the field of vascular biology is the research on atherosclerosis, a major disease in Western countries with millions of affected patients in Europe and the United States. In atherosclerosis, initial inflammatory changes in the blood vessel lead to migration of monocytes/ macrophages into the vessel wall and to the development of “fatty streaks”. More and more macrophages invade the area and are transformed to so called foam cells, and smooth muscle cells proliferate. Inflammatory tissue edema, cellular proliferation, and matrix deposition increase the size of the lesion, which then protrudes into the vessel lumen and mechanically impedes blood flow. Such an atherosclerotic plaque can become instable with loss of vascular integrity and influx of plasma components into the vessel wall. The consequence can be plaque rupture with concomitant release of thrombogenic substances, which lead to the formation of a thrombus and to the complete occlusion of the blood vessel (see above). Finally, we should mention another area within the field of vascular biology: The formation of new blood vessels by sprouting from existing vessels (angiogenesis) or from stem cells (vasculogenesis), respectively. These processes play a central role in a variety of physiological and patho-(physio)logical processes. The formation of new blood vessels is essential for wound healing, reproduction, tumor growth and metastasis (to “survive” the tumor needs its own vessel supply).

For these reasons it is evident that the study of vascular biology, from which only a few have been mentioned above, should allow the students to use their knowledge not only in basic research, but also in many clinical disciplines, such as cardiology, angiology, oncology, dermatology, and reproductive medicine. It is the aim of this program to educate scientists, who are able to independently perform basic as well as clinical research at the university level as well as outside the university. To reach this goal students enrolled in this program should be made familiar not only with basic principles of cell- and molecular biological aspects of vascular biology, but also with the application of this knowledge for the understanding of diseases and therapeutic concepts. This should be assured by the participation of both, basic research and clinical institutes, in this program.

Medical University of Vienna

The primary mission of the Medical University of Vienna -autonomous since 1 January 2004 - is to serve research and education in the broadest sense. It seeks advances in medical science to cure and relieve the symptoms of illnesses, maintain health, and foster social prosperity in a thriving environment. Building on its research programs, educational facilities, and curricula, the Medical University of Vienna strives to respond effectively to the ever-changing needs of State and society. Our newly established university, with centuries of tradition and experience, should and will excel in the coming years with a research profile best suited to meet these challenges. It also will distinguish itself with a curriculum that guarantees our medical students a state of the art education and conforms to the highest standards. In all its endeavors the Medical University of Vienna will remain focused on the goals of humane society. It openly embraces the principles of justice and the equality of all human beings, regardless of gender, origin, ethnic background, and religion. It is dedicated to internationalism and consequently to shared responsibility for its recent history and the unjust deeds committed in its name during the years of Austrian National Socialism. In addition to the central principle of equal opportunity for its colleagues and students, our University dedicates itself equally to acknowledging and fostering individual achievement. The demands on academic medicine from all realms of healthcare grow almost daily and increasingly challenge the traditional role of medicine. Among these are the age pyramid inversion, the accelerating shift to outpatient care, as well as the intensifying demand for health maintenance, partnership between physician and patient, and evidence-based medicine. They also include the transition from primarily specialist-oriented to integrative approaches to treatment, and the integration of additional disciplines, such as ethics, law, nursing care research, palliative medicine and health economics into classical medicine. The newly autonomous Medical University of Vienna must and will meet all of these key challenges responsibly in the coming decades.

PhD Program

MIT Biological Engineering’s mission is to generate and communicate new knowledge in the application of engineering principles in biological systems and to educate leaders in our discipline. We focus at the interface of engineering and biology on combining quantitative, physical, and integrative engineering principles with modern life sciences research. MIT BE offers a graduate PhD degree, and only accepts PhD applications through the annual Departmental process for admission fall term of the following year.

PhD-level training in BE prepares students to conduct research that will:

• Explain how biological systems function in terms of biological/chemical/physical mechanisms, and how they respond when perturbed by endogenous, environmental, and therapeutic factors
• Engineer innovative technologies based on this understanding and apply technologies to address societal needs across all sectors including, but not limited to, biomedicine
• Establish new biology-based paradigms for solving problems in areas of science and engineering that have not historically been impacted by biological approaches

In addition, PhD-level training in BE prepares students to translate this research for positive impact in the world by developing skills to:

• Explain technical subject matter clearly, accurately, and in a compelling and contextual manner for a range of audiences
• Engage collaboratively in diverse teams to contribute biological engineering expertise needed for multidisciplinary projects
• Exercise intellectual and operational leadership to advance on goals in technically and organizationally complex scenarios
• Exhibit integrity and ethical judgment in the design of research and the application of research results

Degree Requirements

BE PhD students complete two core courses in the first year, supplemented with four additional electives ( Course Requirements ). Individual students pace their own progress through elective coursework in consultation with their academic advisor.

In addition to the course requirements, students present an oral thesis qualifying exam to be completed by the end of the fall term in their third year.

BE PhD students complete research rotations in the fall and winter of their first year and select a BE Faculty member as a research and thesis advisor. Students carry out thesis research with the guidance and support of their advisor and a thesis committee formed by the student. Technical communication is an important part of the BE PhD curriculum. Students gain and practice scientific communication skills through one or more terms of teaching experience at the graduate or undergraduate level and research-focused activities including poster and oral presentations at Departmental events including our retreat, the Bioengineering and Toxicology Seminar (BATS) seminar series, and culminating in delivery of a written PhD thesis and oral defense of their thesis work.

Your steps in the admission procedure

Step 1: Application for admission via u:space

Register in u:space and activate your u:account. You will need this account during your studies at the University of Vienna. Log in to u:space, select the degree programme of your choice and upload the above mentioned required documents as PDF. Then click on "submit application."

Please note: Documents that have already been processed in earlier applications are saved in your application as "Nachweisvorhanden.pdf" or "pseudo.txt" and do not have to be uploaded again.

As soon as the status of your application in u:space is "submitted", the admission office will take care of your application.

Please note that any missing or formally incorrect document will prolong the processing time and lead to a later admission. Only submit your application once you uploaded all required documents. The admission office needs several weeks to process your application.

Where required, interviews with candidates will take place. In this case, you will be contacted by E-Mail.

Step 2: Waiting for your admission letter

Due to administrative reasons it is not possible to inform you about the status of your application. Your admission letter will be sent to the e-mail address you provided in u:space.

Step 3: Admission to the doctoral programm

The admission may be either

• without stipulations,
• with stipulations of additional exams (up to a maximum of 60 ECTS) from the bachelor or master programme which you have to pass before the public presentation or
• rejected due to qualitative deficiencies

You will be notified about possible stipulations in the admission letter. A seperate admission to a bachelor/master programme to participate in the required courses is not necessary. Please note: Required stipulations need to be passed before the public presentation!

You are admitted as soon as the prescribed tuition fee/students' union fee is registered as paid.

First-Year Requirements

In addition to your UC application, we take both your academic record and your personal experiences into consideration during the review process . At UCLA, we seek students who have excelled academically and gained valuable perspective from the personal experiences that have helped shape their lives.

Read on to find out more.

The Criteria We Consider

When reviewing an application, we implement a holistic review process, which includes looking at some of the following criteria:

• Achievement in high school or college coursework
• Personal qualities
• Likely contributions to the intellectual and cultural vitality of our campus
• Achievement in academic enrichment programs
• Other achievements in any field of intellectual or creative endeavor, including the performing arts, athletics, community service, etc.

Academic Preparation

You must complete 15 A-G courses with at least 11 courses finished prior to the beginning of your last year of high school. To be competitive in the UCLA admission process, applicants should present an academic profile much stronger than any minimum UC admission requirements.  See below for a listing of the A-G requirements:

• 2 years history/social science
• 4 years of college-preparatory English
• 3 years of mathematics (4 years recommended)
• 2 years of laboratory science (3 years recommended)
• 2 years of language other than English (3 years recommended)
• 1 year of visual and performing arts (if available)
• 1 year of college-preparatory elective

Keep in mind that there is no single academic path we expect all students to follow. However, competitive applicants earn high marks in the most rigorous curriculum available to them.   Each application for admission is reviewed within the context of courses available to that student. If a particular required subject is not available, we’ll consider your application without it.

Standardized Testing (SAT/ACT)

UCLA will not consider SAT or ACT scores for admission or scholarship purposes.

If you choose to submit test scores as part of your application, they may be used as an alternative method of fulfilling minimum requirements for eligibility or for course placement after you enroll.

UCLA’s ACT number: 0448 UCLA’s College Board (SAT) number: 4837

Personal Insight Questions

These personal questions are just that — personal. This is your chance to augment the information elsewhere in your application and give us more insight into you during the review process.  Our hope is to hear your true, authentic voice in your responses.   As a first-year applicant, you may respond to four of eight questions. Each response is limited to a maximum of 350 words. Which questions you choose to answer is entirely up to you. You should select questions that are most relevant to your experience and that best reflect your individual circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions

Because we receive more applicants than we have room to accept, admitted students usually have academic achievements far higher than the minimum requirements. So, to be “competitive” is to be among the strongest achieving students to apply.

We look for students who take advantage of the academic opportunities available to them. If you have advanced courses, we encourage you to take advantage of them. The University of California adds extra weight to grades received in UC-certified honors, AP, IB and transferable college courses.

We do not require or accept letters of recommendation in our process and we do not collect transcripts at the point of application . However, once admitted, students are required to submit official transcripts f rom any high school or college they have attended . Some professional schools may request a letter of recommendation as part of their supplemental application process.

We do not offer admission interviews. Applicants are considered for admission based upon the information they submit in the UC application . However, some majors in our  specialty schools require a supplemental application as part of their admission process. Supplemental applications may involve an audition, portfolio submission and/or letters of recommendation. Find out more from the supplemental applications page.

Supplemental Applications

Of course, a strong academic performance combined with sustained, meaningful involvement in extracurricular activities is the ideal. But if it comes down to a choice between excelling in your coursework or your extracurricular activities, choose your academics.

UCLA will honor full IGETC certification from a first-year student if the requirements were completed before entering UC. Partial IGETC, however, will not be accepted from entering first-years at any UC campus and IGETC is not recommended for applicants to the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.

Degree Programmes at the Medical University of Vienna

• Studies & Further Education
• Degree Programmes

From the programmes in Medicine and Dentistry to PhD and doctoral programmes to numerous courses - the largest German-speaking medical training facility is located in Vienna.

The Medical University of Vienna is the largest medical school in the world. With its history, its size and its excellent scientific performance it is among the most important and renowned medical universities in the world. Thanks to the triple track of education, research and patient care research results and their practical application are directly integrated into the teaching.

Medical Science and the Practice of Medicine

A total of over 8,600 people from Austria and abroad currently receive their medical training at MedUni Vienna. 1200 teachers are available to them.

Apart from the programmes in Medicine and Dentistry future and fully trained doctors as well as other scientists are also offered an attractive array of other programmes and continuing education. This goes from PhD and doctoral programmes to a Master's degree in Medical Informatics to 18 postgraduate courses.

Just in the doctoral and PhD programmes, which have developed in a very dynamic way in the short time since their creation, there are already more than 1400 students. Many of those pursue their studies as permanently employed staff of the University. In order to further strengthen the international spirit at MedUni, exchange programmes - such as foreign exchange scholarships, visiting researcher or partner universities - are being continuously expanded.

"Over the course of the next few years MedUni Vienna will become an international competence center for medical education and PhD programmes as well as a best practice reference model for medical curricula."

Courses of Study at MedUni Vienna

The Medical University of Vienna educates hundreds to thousands of students every year in the following programmes: 

• Medicine degree programme
• Dentistry degree programme
• Medical Informatics master’s programme
• Molecular Precision Medicine master's programme
• PhD-programmes (16 different programmes)
• Doctoral Programme of Applied Medical Science (10 different programmes)

For the clinical practical training there are 84 accredited teaching hospitals and 2 teaching departments.

Studying Successfully with a Modern Curriculum

MedUni Vienna has a modern curriculum, which conveys integrated expert knowledge and focuses on teaching in small groups and clinical practice. This way the Medical University of Vienna has developed one of the most modern certified curricula in Europe.

Since its implementation the key data in the area of education have improved significantly. The drop-out rate was reduced from 60% to 13%, the majority of the over 7500 students finish their degree in the prescribed period and the number of those taking part in international mobility programmes increases every year.

Focus on Clinical Practice and Small Groups

The medical curriculum at MedUni Vienna focuses especially on subject integration, problem orientation, method-guided examination, calculation of the training capacity, evaluation and quality assurance. In the first and the second study phase, classes are clearly structured by content and time in thematic blocks. These are accompanied by practical courses or seminars in small groups ("lines") in order to establish a special connection with the clinical instruction

In the courses of the Lines the necessary clinical skills are also taught. Since 2014 the students complete their last year as a Clinical Internship ("KPJ") at accredited teaching hospitals, where they are prepared to enter the profession and to pursue post-graduate training. This is a further step for quality assurance in the Vienna medical curriculum.

Social Skills and Interactive Learning

The topic of "social competence" is already part of the curriculum in the first semester, and innovative projects, such as those using actor patients set priorities in the development of a professional demeanour. E-Learning and interactive learning are two additional pillars of the programmes at MedUni Vienna: A few lectures, seminars and examinations are held with the assistance of a voting technology. This way the comprehension of the presented teaching content can be checked immediately during the lecture.
