- Welcome to the GGL
- The GGL provides an interdisciplinary, concisely structured graduate programme for all life science disciplines at the Justus Liebig University, in the fields of Human, Dental and Veterinary Medicine, Psychology and Sport Sciences, Biology, Chemistry, Nutritional and Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. Based on our diversity of disciplines and nationalities, we have built a comprehensive concept for doctoral research where a topic-oriented doctoral project is embedded in the multidisciplinary research background of the GGL. We offer seminars, practical courses, research retreats and essential skills for academic and business careers.

- Obituary for Marco Russo
-
With heavy hearts, we announce that on 17 April our dear colleague Dr. Marco Russo passed away unexpectedly. We are shocked and grieving this sudden loss. We miss him and cannot believe that he left our team forever. Our thoughts and condolences are with his family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time. We will try to support anybody who might be affected by this sad news.
- Wege in die Promotion 2024
-
Most people interested in graduation ask the same questions: Where should I start? How do I finance my PhD-project and most important: Does a doctoral degree really match with my personal interests?
Like every year, the GGL joint forces with several teaching centres and organisations to deliver some answers. In “Wege in die Promotion 2023” we address financing, organisation and the local support network for doctoral candidates at the JLU. The event will be held in German on 26th June from from 1. 00 p.m. to 4. 30 p.m.
- GGL Graduation and Welcome Ceremony 2023
- Our warmest congratulations to our Graduating Class of 2023! This year’s graduates joined us at the peak of the COVID pandemic, and we are happy that we could meet 25 of our 30 new graduates in person during this beautiful ceremony. The Ceremony was a great evening with many highlights including the festive handover of the certificates, the awarding of the Dr. Herbert Stolzenberg Publication Award for Research in the Life Sciences and the Welcome for 48 new GGL members. We wish all our graduates the best for their future and invite you to join our alumni network at LinkedIn or our PostDoc programme.

- We are happy to announce the winners of this year’s Publication Award for Research in the Life Sciences: Rebecca Classen, PhD, (German Centre for Neurodegenerative Research) and Laura Rehneke, (Institute of Phytopathology, Justus Liebig University Giessen). Our Congratulations! The awardees were honoured by Matthias Kamps (Commerzbank AG), representative of the Executive Board of the Dr. Herbert Stolzenberg Foundation, and Prof. Dr. Eveline Baumgart-Vogt, Director of the GGL during the recent welcome and graduation ceremony of the GGL.
- Testimonials of our Alumni
-
While we hosted our Life Science Bridges Event in the summer of 2017, we interviewed some of our alumni about their time as a member of the GGL. We also asked them to pass some advice and experience on to new generations of young researchers. Take a look at their testimony to find out, where they are now and what they have to say.
