The topics of the scientific theses are closely connected to the FICAM research policy , and their goal is to develop in vitro methods for replacing or supplementing  the use of experimental animals in biomedical or toxicological research.

In FICAM the students can perform research both for MSci and doctoral (Ph.D. and MD) degrees. The students for MSci degree come from other study programs, and they will only perform the practical research in FICAM. The students for doctoral degree usually belong to some graduate school (e.g. ToxGS, in vitro toxicology graduate school).
