• Doctoral Program in Integrative Experimental & Computational Biology
  
  We are at a revolutionary time in biology. The sequencing of the genomes of species from across the tree of life has provided access to their complete genetic blueprint, and opened the door to novel experimental strategies and reasoning. Top-down and bottom-up approaches can now synergize to address fundamental problems in biology. The Doctoral Program in Integrative Experimental and Computational Biology (IECB) is an multi-departmental program that aims to attract highly motivated, international students who wish to pursue biological research incorporating experimental and computational approaches, and which is highly suited to students wishing to work on aspect of CycliX. The program, which is part of the Doctoral School of the University of Lausanne's Faculty of Biology and Medicine, harbours an international group of students working in a multidisciplinary, English-speaking research environment.
  
  The IECB program, working in close association with the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics-SIB, provides training and experience in the reasoning, logic and abilities inherent to both experimental and computational approaches and educates students in quantitative analysis of biological questions. Students are offered instruction in genome-wide and proteome-wide data analysis, biological modeling, quantitative image analysis, programming and statistics, in addition to a thorough education in experimental biology, through a didactic program that complements both their individual research topic and background. Thus, PhD students become conversant in both experimental and computational approaches and acquire the ability to integrate quantitative and experimental methods in their own research. Graduates from this program will have unprecedented scientific competence to permit them to become future leaders in biological research and beyond.

• StarOmics
  
  StarOmics is a newly developed doctoral program financed by the CUSO (Conférence Universitaire de Suisse Occidentale) and involving the Universities of Bern, Fribourg, Neuchâtel, Lausanne, and Geneva. It offers a series of courses to doctoral students interested in learning about performing and analyzing large scale "Omics" experiments. Moreover, it offers "transversal courses" allowing the development of general skills such as scientific English writing, giving clear scientific presentations, applying for patents, etc. Students performing their PhD in a university that requires them to accumulate a certain number of credits can ask their university to decide on credit equivalents for any StarOmics course they are interested in. Upon completion of a StarOmics course, they receive an attestation that allows them to claim the credits from their own university. We encourage any student registered in the Doctoral Program in Integrative Experimental and Computational Biology (see above) to also register in StarOmics as many courses overlap and registration in StarOmics gives them access to transversal courses. Students who complete a certain number of StarOmics courses receive a StarOmics certificate.
