2016
Within Sanquin around 75-80 PhD students are working on a thesis. In most cases Sanquin Researchers that hold a professorship at one of the Dutch universities act as supervisor/promotor.
Most PhD students follow courses at those universities, as part of their research training. Sanquin researchers also contribute to these courses. Each year, around 15 PhD theses are defended.
PhD Programs
Sanquin offers postgraduate academics the opportunity to become an independent researcher. Are you looking for a good place to do your PhD thesis? Visit our PhD Programs page for more information.
