The National graduate school in structural biology – BioStruct, is granted by The Norwegian Research Council and established to provide expertice and tools for the research education within structural biology in Norway.

The school is open to all PhD-students and their research groups without any limitation related to theme and is as such a technologically based research education including projects within e.g. biomedicine, plant biology, marine biology, microbiology, basic biomolecular research and (bio)nanoscience. The graduate school will focus on both experimental and and theoretical methods for obtaining structural information.

Five Norwegian universities (right menu) constitute the BioStruct consortium. This collaboration represents a unification of many strong research groups, giving the students great access to both the expertice, facilities and training offered by the Norwegian stuctural biology research community.

Approximately 55 students from 40 research groups at 6 universities are registered in the graduate school.
