Welcome to the International GMPF PhD Programme
The International PhD programme in Genomics and Molecular Physiology of Fruit, GMPF, consists of 13 highly competitive research institutions spread all over the world. The aim is the establishment of an international network of PhD students working on genomics, bioinformatics, functional genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, genetics and genetic improvement and molecular physiology of fruit trees.
Students joining the GMPF programme have the opportunity to conduct their research project both at the Research and Innovation Centre of the Edmund Mach Foundation (FEM) and at another institution member of the GMPF programme. Students will also receive specialized summer courses aimed at methodological and technological updating (for example bioinformatics; robotics; models of genetic simulation; techniques of genome assembly; phenotyping; chemistry of secondary metabolism).
