Student Projects

BMB has a very strong international research profile, and a project in one of the research groups will open exciting and challenging perspectives into the world of scientific research. A bachelor project is the ideal starting point for later activities such as an ITEK project and a master’s thesis. We strongly recommend the students to make an early contact with potential supervisors.
