The Doctoral School at the University of French Guiana is delighted to announce the award of doctoral contracts for seven thesis projects, marking a significant step forward in research in Amazonia and French Guiana.
After deliberating on the allocation of doctoral contracts for 2024, the Doctoral School's Select Committee selected seven exciting topics from the fourteen proposed.
These research projects will explore a range of crucial areas, from public health and tropical ecology to socio-environmental issues and biotechnology.
Here is an overview of the topics selected:
Study of veterinary pathogens at risk of zoonosis and/or of economic importance in the Amazonian environment.
Laboratory: TBIP UMR CIIL (AIBSI funding)
