Overview

The Regenerative Sciences program from Hannover Medical School integrates all scientific and technological disciplines that are relevant for regenerative medicine.

PhD students enrolled in the program thus profit from extensive experience in two different though complementary areas: they are part of a lively and diverse scientific community in regenerative medicine as well as integrated into a graduate school hosting a diversity of different programs with long years of experience in teaching graduate students from a large variety of backgrounds.

Features

At the same time the PhD program Regenerative Sciences is integrated in the Graduate School of Excellence HBRS – Hannover Biomedical Research School.

Accreditation

Students graduate from the program either with a PhD or a Dr. rer. nat. (natural or life scientists only) jointly awarded by HBRS and Hannover Medical School.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

The major focus of the three year PhD program is an individual research project carried out in the principle supervisor’s lab.

Furthermore, each student has two co-supervisors whose own research foci are closely related to the PhD project but who come from outside the supervisor’s department.

During the first two years lab work is complemented by weekly seminars and tutorials taught by REBIRTH faculty members covering the different aspects of regenerative sciences.
