Past PhD Students

Post PhD – at TIGEM and beyond


Life after a PhD at TIGEM

Annually, we host 35 PhD students across the research groups at TIGEM. Since 2003, when the TIGEM PhD program was introduced, 153 scientists have successfully completed their studies at TIGEM. We foster a close and supportive environment both among our students currently at TIGEM and our alumni community.

Previous TIGEM students have gone on to a diverse range of careers, many have continued in research or industry science while others have moved into science-related fields, teaching, and other paths outside of academia.
