University of Geneva
The University of Geneva unites all life science doctoral schools in the International PhD programme. Once a year, the program organises a PhD retreat.

University of Bern
The University of Bern hosts the Graduate School for Cellular and Biomedical Sciences
Furthermore, PhD students can enroll in the School for Molecular Life Sciences

University of Basel
The Biozentrum offers a broad selection of lectures on current topics in Molecular, Cellular and Systems Biology at the Masters and PhD level. This graduate teaching program offers young scientists opportunities to expand and broaden their theoretical knowledge and practical skills.

The Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research (FMI)
The Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research (FMI) in Basel is an international leader in biomedical research in the fields of neurobiology, genome regulation and multicellular systems. It offers an international PhD program and MD-PhD program that provide interdisciplinary training and access to state-of-the-art technology platforms. The FMI’s affiliation with the Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research and the University of Basel, as well as its location in Europe’s top life sciences hub, provide excellent opportunities for scientific interactions and collaborations.

University of Fribourg
The Fribourg Graduate School of Life Sciences (FGLS) is an interdisciplinary and international graduate school, which offers a coordinated doctoral programme in life sciences at the University of Fribourg. It addresses doctoral fellows in the fields of biology, biochemistry, molecular medicine, chemistry, physics, bioinformatics and mathematics who have a life science focus. State-of-the-art theoretical and experimental research will lead to a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). The Faculty of Sciences offers the following degrees related to biology: PhD in Biology, PhD in Biochemistry, PhD in Bioinformatics

PhD & Postdoc Association (PPA) of Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI)
The main intention of this association is to provide a platform for PhD students and postdocs for social and scientific networking across all departments. The PSI institute is organized into five research and two service divisions:

• Research with Neutrons and Muons (NUM)
• Photon Science (PSD)
• Energy and Environment (ENE)
• Nuclear Energy and Safety (NES)
• Biology and Chemistry (BIO)
• Division Large Research Facilities (GFA)
• Division Logistics (LOG)
