Welcome to the 6th edition of the PhD Booster programme of UNIGE’s Faculty of Medicine. The Booster aims to empower PhD students in life sciences by providing grants to advance their careers and enhance their communication and outreach skills. Our goal is not only to offer a highly formative and career-enhancing experience but also to promote young talents in biomedical research and secure grants that benefit their careers.

This year, we changed the process to offer a coaching opportunity for all candidates. This coaching helps improve their project presentations and prepares them to present effectively on camera, providing them with a valuable experience for their future careers.

Meet the winners of this year’s sixth edition: Aischa, Benedetta, Mehdi, Fah, and Valentin. Watch the video presentations of their thesis projects and discover the fascinating research our PhD students are conducting in just a few minutes.
