BIOTIN doctoral programme features an international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral approach to provide 10 doctoral candidates (DCs) a unique blend of research training skills in the convergence of life sciences, engineering, and computational & data science, and entrepreneurship skills, with the aim of advancing innovation in biomedical research and education. The programme will be a unique educational experience immersing DCs in courses and trainings on entrepreneurship at the early stages of their curriculum, and on data science and computing, in addition to classical biomedical sciences and engineering courses.

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. In addition to the host recruiting institutions, a total of 29 associated partner organizations, including 18 academic and 11 non-academic organizations, most of them in Europe and the United States, will contribute to the programme.

The BIOTIN programme has defined 20 PhD thesis projects that applicants can choose from in three intertwined themes of biomedical research: (1) drug discovery and development, (2) diagnosis and (3) tissue engineering and artificial organs.
