Seven new PhD graduates in 2025

At CHDR, educating students and professionals is one of our core values. Through our Clinical Research Programme we offer ambitious young researchers and clinicians a well-defined career development path. In this rigorous five-year PhD programme, participants design and conduct several research projects while being coached by Senior Clinical Scientists and Research Directors. Throughout the programme, participants develop key skills and competencies in project management, clinical pharmacology, and scientific research. The programme usually culminates in the completion of a PhD thesis.

In 2025, seven PhD candidates successfully defended their thesis at CHDR. Click on each of the book covers below to read more.
