Microbiology Matters (MiMa) is a PhD school with worklife relevance, focusing on One Health and infectious diseases, viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, host-microbe interactions, zoonoses, AMR and bioinformatics.
We aim to prevent infectious diseases caused by the most commonly found agents: viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. Our primary objective is to educate highly skilled doctoral candidates in microbiology related fields with knowledge of a One Health approach to public and veterinary health.
This will prepare PhD candidates to tackle future public health challenges and offer increased relevance of the doctoral education to the labour market.
