International PhD Program in Regenerative Therapies at the BSRT/Charité (Berlin), Germany

The international PhD program of the Berlin-Brandenburg School for Regenerative Therapies (BSRT) offers outstanding interdisciplinary training and research opportunities for students of natural sciences and engineering who want to pursue a career in the field of Regenerative Medicine and aim at translating their scientific discoveries into clinical applications.

The BSRT is a collaboration between the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, the Freie Universität zu Berlin, the Technische Universität, the Univeristy of Potsdam, Max Planck and Helmholtz Institutes and other high-ranking research institutions in Berlin and Brandenburg. This collaboration offers top class scientific training leading to the award of a PhD degree for students with a Master’s or equivalent degree in biology, biochemistry, bioengineering, veterinary medicine, chemistry, engineering or physics. The program will start in April 2009. It is not necessary to hold the Master’s degree at the time of application but it must have been awarded prior to enrolment into the program. Students admitted to the PhD program will be supported by stipends.

The international PhD program of the BSRT comprises a series of 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 from academia and industry.

Application deadline is the 15th November 2008. Please use only the online application form provided on our website at www.bsrt.de where you can also find further information about the BSRT and the application procedure. The online application forms will be available from 20th September 2008.
