The Else Kröner-Fresenius-Promotionskolleg "Eicosanoid and sphingolipd signalling pathways in inflammation, cancer and vascular diseases" is a joint project of the Goethe-University Frankfurt and the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm with the aim to train doctoral students in the field of biomedicine.  PhD students in nine projects are investigating the role of eicosanoids and sphingolipids in inflammation, vascular diseases and tumours.
 
The PhD students take part in a training program on drug research, development and safety with summer and winter schools, and organize a one-day symposium. The program prepares graduates for work in industry or academia.
