The Berlin-Brandenburg School for Regenerative Therapies (BSRT) offers outstanding interdisciplinary training and research opportunities for national and international doctoral researchers of natural, material and engineering sciences who want to pursue a career in the field of Regenerative Medicine. The program comprises courses, seminars and research projects designed to equip students with the essentials to become effective scientists in Regenerative Medicine. Interaction between biological, engineering and clinical research will be fostered through mutual supervision of each PhD project by top class researchers from different disciplines. The call is open for graduates with a Master’s or equivalent degree in biology, immunology, biochemistry, bioengineering, veterinary medicine, chemistry, engineering, material sciences or physics who want to pursue a doctoral degree.
