Curriculum

2-4 week Personalized Medicine traineeships at ErasmusMC

The Erasmus University Medical Center (Erasmus MC) based in Rotterdam, Netherlands, affiliated with Erasmus University and home to its faculty of medicine, is the "largest and one of the most authoritative scientific University Medical Centers in Europe." Furthermore, the hospital is the largest of the eight university medical centers in the Netherlands, both in terms of turnover and number of beds. The Erasmus MC ranks #1 of the top European institution in clinical medicine and #20 in the world according to the Times Higher Education rankings.

ErasmusMC offers 2-4 week personalized medicine internships illustrating the power of molecular diagnostics followed by targeted treatment strategies.

During the internship complex genetic cases will be discussed to illustrate the variable clinical presentation linked to specific perturbed molecular pathways underlying auto-immune and auto-inflammatory disorders.

The intracellular metabolism in monocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs) appears crucial for the function of these critical controllers of innate and adaptive immunity. They undergo profound metabolic reprogramming in response to environmental cues, such as hypoxia or nutrient alterations, but also upon triggering by danger signals and cytokines. Therefore, metabolic alterations in monocytes, macrophages and DCs appear crucial to maintain immune homeostasis and metabolic dysregulation could lead to disease pathology. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team comprising of internists, pathologists immunologists, molecular biologists and bioinformaticians studying patients suffering from auto-immune and or auto-inflammatory disorders.

Fees and Program Logistics

This program has the following durations available:

Duration	Fee
2 weeks	$875.00
4 weeks	$1,500.00

This program allows Merit Applications. If you successfully are awarded a merit application - Trialect will take care of all bench and service fees, but you will have to take care of travel and accommodation. All applications will be scrutinized under the merit category. Considering 50 million health professionals around the world, the chances of getting selected under the merit category would be very low.

Who Can Apply

Questions and Answers

Commonly asked questions about this program from the host and other attendees.

I recieved an email informing that my application was accepted for this fellowship and, before paying the fees, I would like to know about the possible dates that I will be able to go. Do I choose the date or is defined by the host of the programme? Thank you.

Usually, we request to consider a couple of options as you will have to match with the host mentor schedules to have the best experiences

is it an onsite training?

Yes

Hi When will I receive the final decision?

Please contact us at Support@trialect.com

When can we start the program

Many fellows from around the world have already traveled to the Netherlands to pursue this program in August and September 2021 (last couple of months)

Hi, I have been looking at the information requiered for the application (pressing Apply Now button) there is no field to indicate the type of application (free, sponsored, etc..) How do I inform about the type of application?

All applications go through an internal review process and are categorized accordingly. Please go through the FAQS for more information https://trialect.com/faq

I would like to ask whether it is posiible to schedule the fellowship for 2022, February, April or May?

Please contact us at Traineeships@trialect.com

I am interested in personalized healthcare training! However, I am from a low-income country and unable to pay the fee. So, is there an opportunity for me?
