    <\/a>General Information on the institution<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    The Institute of Human Genetics, Polish Academy of Sciences, has a long-standing history. It was founded in 1974 as the Department of Human Genetics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (DHG PAS). On April 1, 2003 \u00a0became the Institute of Human Genetics, PAS.<\/p>\n

    The Institute employs 83 people, including 39 scientists, 19 PhD students, and 28 specialists and technicians.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    IHG PAS has the right to confer doctoral degrees (since 2002) and habilitations (since 2010) in the field of medical sciences in the discipline of medical biology. Since 2019, the Institute offers doctoral education in Pozna\u0144 Doctoral School of the Institute of Polish Academy of Sciences.<\/p>\n

    The Institute comprises five departments and one independent research group. The departments are rigid structures and determine the direction of research of specific research teams, while independent research groups are created for a limited period of time for the implementation of specific research projects. The main research areas of the Institute are cytogenetics, molecular genetics, cellular pathology, reproductive biology, mutagenesis and biotechnology. The work carried out at the Institute aims to elucidate the molecular basis of various disorders with particular emphasis on rare genetic diseases, cancer, stem cell biology and application, fertility disorders, common autoimmune and infectious diseases. To understand the basic mechanisms of these disorders and disease susceptibility, modern molecular biology technologies, along with cytogenetic and immunological techniques, are applied in our studies.<\/p>\n

    <\/a>Health care<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Healthcare in Poland is available for students from the EU\/EEA countries, provided that they hold valid medical insurance in the national insurance system of their country. A valid passport, student Identity Card or doctoral student Identity Card and a valid European Health Insurance Card (Europejska Karta Ubezpieczenia Zdrowotnego) entitles its holder to medical care services free of charge in Poland.<\/p>\n

    If possible it is recommended that students from non-EU\/EEA countries purchase their own international medical insurance prior to their arrival in Poland. Otherwise they are required to sign a voluntary health insurance agreement with the National Health Fund (Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia \u2013 NFZ) and pay their own insurance fees. Under this insurance scheme, students are entitled to free medical care and can use university health care clinics and health centres. Also, all foreign students have the option of purchasing additional accident insurance. For detailed information visit the website of the National Health Fund: www.nfz.gov.pl<\/p>\n

    There are public health care centres and hospitals located throughout the country. At health centres, an appointment is usually required. There may be charges associated with visits to a health care centre.
    \nYou are strongly advised to insure valuable belongings against theft, loss or damage.<\/p>\n

    For the visit in a private medical center, you should take your passport with you. The cost is around 25\/30 euro for a visit.<\/p>\n
