- Description/content
- The Regenerative Sciences PhD programme (PhD RegSci) at the MHH (Hannover Medical School) focuses on novel regenerative agents and biomaterials as well as cell transplants, artificial tissues, and cell-enhanced bioimplants. Doctoral students must hold a Master's degree or its equivalent in biosciences, human or veterinary medicine, or an engineering discipline.
The RegSci PhD programme was established in 2007 as part of the Cluster of Excellence REBIRTH – "From Regenerative Biology to Reconstructive Therapy". The interdisciplinary programme integrates all scientific and technological disciplines relevant to regenerative medicine and aims to combine excellent training with innovative science and experimental and clinical medicine.
The development of novel regenerative therapies requires basic knowledge in biomedicine, including the molecular biology of the eukaryotic (stem) cell, pathomechanisms, and immunobiology. The curriculum also provides knowledge in cellular, genetic and biomedical engineering, bioinformatics, biotechnology, molecular imaging and biomaterials.
Training within the RegSci PhD programme takes place across three levels: students carry out their own research projects, collectively participate in seminars and tutorials covering the aforementioned topics, and take courses tailored to their chosen research areas, along with courses focusing on transferable skills.
