Doctoral and Postdoctoral Researchers

The first cohort of the RTG 3120 consists of 13 doctoral candidates that started their training in 2026. Over the course of 4 years, the PhD candidates will take interdisciplinary approaches in studying biomolecular condensates. In addition, the extra cohort consisting of doctoral and postdoctoral researchers enrich the RTG with their expertise and take part in its research and networking activities.

Associated Researchers

In addition to the newly recruited cohort of doctoral candidates, researchers in Dresden already working in the condensates field are actively integrated into the RTG to benefit from the structured training and supervision, and at the same time support new students in quickly integrating into their research groups and the research environment in Dresden.
