Institute of Virology

Each student (MD and PhD) has a team of 3 – 4 supervisors (thesis advisory committee, TAC) including trans-regional PIs with complementary expertise to connect the three TRR179 Locations in Heidelberg, Freiburg and Munich. Depending on the project, the TAC members have a different scientific background than the PI, enabling each student to have close contact with scientists having complementary expertise, thus reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the projects of TRR179.

TAC members

• advise students on pursuing their projects
• advise students in required soft-skills,
• support students in career planning 
• provide support for building student´s own scientific network
