What is Biotin?

BIOTIN is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA)-cofunded program aiming to provide 10 doctoral candidates (DCs) a unique blend of research training skills in the convergence of life sciences, engineering and entrepreneurship skills, with the aim of advancing innovation in biomedical and bioengineering fields.

​​​

Successful candidates will be enrolled in a doctoral program offered by one of the 3 implementing partners with the aim of obtaining their doctoral degree. The BIOTIN program will be a unique educational experience immersing DCs in courses and trainings on entrepreneurship at the early stages of their curriculum, on data science and computing, as well as biomedical sciences and engineering courses. In addition to the theoretical courses and trainings, each recruited DC fellow will be required to complete PhD thesis. BIOTIN program offers 20 PhD thesis projects, in the fields of Drug Development, Diagnostics, Tissue Engineering & Artificial Organs, which the DCs can choose from at the time of application for the program.​

Implementing Partners

BIOTIN is coordinated by Izmir Institute of Technology (IZTECH) in collaboration with two partner organisations: Boğaziçi University (BOUN) and Izmir Biomedicine and Genome Center (IBG). IZTECH, IBG and BOUN are located in two major cities of Türkiye, İzmir and İstanbul and all will be recruiting DCs.

Meet Our Supervisors

BIOTIN DCs will benefit from an interdisciplinary team of supervisors with ample experience in the non-academic & industrial sectors. Each DC will be appointed three highest-calibre, experienced, academic supervisors from different disciplines complementary for their PhD projects. The supervisory team will guide the student with regards to the day- to-day supervision and training programs.
