Doctoral Programme in Precision and Personalized Medicine (PhD)

The PhD programme in Precision and Personalized Medicine at Danube Private University (DPU) aims to sustainably improve human health through the close integration of basic research and clinical application. It was accredited in September 2025 by AQ Austria. Doctoral candidates from the first selection round will begin their studies in 2026.

Our English-language full-time doctoral programme (180 ECTS) prepares future scientists at the interface of biomedical research, clinical medicine, and technological innovation. Research activities include the analysis of health determinants using integrated data approaches, the development of AI-based models and medical technologies, and their translation into clinical practice. Close collaboration with the three university hospitals in Wiener Neustadt, Neunkirchen, and Hochegg in Lower Austria, as well as with national and international partners, ensures that scientific findings lead to tangible improvements in patient care.
