The HOTBIO project is a Horizon Europe MSCA Doctoral Network project that aims to train doctoral fellows in the field of marine biology and pharmacology. The University of Aberdeen have received funding to participate in this action through the UKRI Horizon Europe Guarantee Fund.

Students graduating from HOTBIO will be in a unique position to enter a challenging labour market, as they will have received multidisciplinary training at world-leading research groups in academia and industry partners.

Informal enquiries should be made to Prof Marcel Jaspars, Chair in Chemistry
