The integrated Research Training Group “Inflammation & Regeneration” of the CRC841 supports MD as well as PhD theses in the context of a structured programme. Graduated medical students are preparing their experimental thesis together with PhD students according to the research programme of the CRC841. A multidisciplinary qualification programme specific to the Research Training Group “Inflammation & Regeneration” is conducted by hepatologists, immunologists, neurologists and nephrologists who teach basic science, methodology and translational aspects of infection, inflammation and regeneration in the liver and other organs. It also offers seminars given by German and international visiting researchers as well as courses in rules of good scientific practice, scientific writing, presentation techniques and biostatistics and enables visits to conferences, immunological schools and those to other laboratories. The students are supervised by an advisory thesis committee consisting of three principal investigators and they present their results during annual progress report meetings.
