5 PhD Programs in Allied Healthcare in Czech Republic for 2024

The doctoral (Ph.D.) degree program entitled “Imaging Methods in Medicine” covers various qualitative and quantitative methods of image analysis in biology and medicine. Research and the development of new imaging techniques and procedures, as well as the analysis, processing, and interpretation of data, are also emphasized, including artificial intelligence. The degree program is closely related to molecular biology, molecular imaging, radiology, nuclear medicine, pathology, and many other fundamental and clinical fields of biomedicine. The standard length of study is four (4) years. The program is carried out without any specialization.

Parasitology is a complex scientific discipline dealing with various aspects of the relationship between a parasite and a host. The Doctoral Study Program (DSP) Parasitology is focused on the study of the biology of parasitic protozoa, helminths, and arthropods, at the level of whole organisms, cells, and molecules with an emphasis on parasites interactions with hosts. The DSP Parasitology is based on, follows, and combines both, systematic and ecological disciplines focused on (totally or partially) various parasitological pathogenic agents. The DSP Parasitology combines various methodological approaches such as immunology, cell, and molecular biology, biochemistry, epidemiology, diversity, and phylogeny of parasitic organisms. The DSP Parasitology is designed to familiarize students with various aspects of parasitism and the application of parasitology in veterinary and human medicine. The DSP Parasitology aims to deepen the knowledge especially in the field of parasitology, and to develop students' ability to creative scientific thinking, which is also a prerequisite for further education in related fields such as immunology, biochemistry, cell, and molecular biology, microbiology. The emphasis is put on independent scientific work and development of the ability to critically evaluate, formulate, present and publish the achieved results. The DSP Parasitology will allow doctoral students to devote sufficient time not only to study but also to demanding experimental work; as well as to at least a three-month internship abroad and to defend a dissertation work (a doctoral thesis) based on high-quality publications in international journals.

Imaging science is paying attention to the diagnostic and therapeutic application of the imaging methods of radiology and also nuclear medicine. Imaging is cooperating with other basic medicine disciplines very closely. The absolvent of the doctor studying program imaging science in medicine acquires the scientific erudition based on the combination of theoretical study, clinical practice, and scientific work in the concrete scientific-research assignment. The theoretical part of the study includes the whole range of the discipline (the insolvent reaches detailed knowledge of the problems related to the dissertation work and knowledge of the other parts of radiology on the level of the specialization examination at a minimum). Theoretical education is completed with mandatory and voluntary specialized courses and research fellowships. The clinical part is done at the imaging department according to the topic of the dissertation work. The scientific-research part is based on the solving of the concrete assignment and on the publication of the research results. During the completing the research assignment, the absolvent is learned to work indecently on a scientific project, to create theses, to study literature, to verify hypotheses on the selected sample, to interpret results, and to publish them in scientific journals and during congresses. The study is finished by the state examination and the defense of the dissertation work. The successful absolvent reaches the scientific degree of Ph.D., Study program without specialization.

The aim of the presented doctoral study program is to prepare graduates of medical, pharmaceutical and scientific faculties for work in the field of Military Radiobiology. To provide students with advanced laboratory technologies in the fields of hematology, flow cytometry, histology and molecular biology, which are necessary for the analysis of changes in the organism after interaction with ionizing radiation in in vitro or in vivo studies.
