CPH Bioscience PhD defenses
Seventy-eight Copenhagen Bioscience PhD students have defended their theses so far – including all of the students that started in 2016, 2017 and 2018. Since the beginning of 2026: David Kouvchinov. We look forward to celebrating more defenses in the coming months.
Student Publications
First-author publications from CPH Bioscience PhD students since the start of 2026 include: Omics-based expression cassette for heterologous protein production in Y. lipolytica (Ridwan Elemosho); Identification of modifiable plasma protein markers of cardiometabolic risk in children and adolescents with obesity (Sara Stinson).
Our students have contributed to at least 302 scientific publications since the programme began in Sept 2016 – including articles in Nature, Science and Cell.
Keep up the good work, everyone!
CPH Bioscience PhD Legacy
The Copenhagen Bioscience PhD programme recruited 109 international students over seven years (2016-2022). Many are enrolled as PhD students at DTU and UCPH currently, but the programme is no longer recruiting new students. CPH Bioscience PhD alumni have gone on to jobs including group leader, post-doc, consultant, patent attorney, scientist in industry, journal editor – and we are very proud of all their achievements.
