The Berlin-Brandenburg School for Regenerative Therapies (BSRT) works in close association with the Berlin-Brandenburg Centre for Regenerative Therapies (BCRT) and is a joint initiative of the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Freie Universität Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin, University of Potsdam, Max Planck and Helmholtz institutions and other research institutes in Berlin and Brandenburg. The BSRT offers outstanding interdisciplinary training and research opportunities for clinical, biological and engineering scientists working in the field of regenerative medicine who want to look beyond their research and aim at translating their scientific discoveries into clinical applications.
Regenerative medicine combines basic science, materials science, clinical disciplines and biotechnology with the goal of repairing or replacing tissues and organs impaired by aging, diseases, trauma or congenital abnormalities. The goal of the BSRT is to prepare young scientist coming from different disciplines for a successful research career in this interdisciplinary field. A new type of scientist will be educated to have not only a profound understanding of their own field, but also a substantial understanding of the associated clinical needs and a broad knowledge of cell biology, molecular biology, bio-engineering, bio-technology and bio-materials.
The BSRT PhD programme covers a period of three years and is run in English so students from all over the world with a master or equivalent degree can join. Graduate students with a background in biology, biochemistry, bioengineering, bioinformatics or veterinary medicine can apply for the Biology Track. Graduate students coming from engineering, physics or chemistry will join the Engineering Track. A special five year PhD programme is also available for medical students who will be trained as Clinical Scientist.
A personal mentoring committee will guide each PhD student through their project to ensure the progress of the work. Beside their research, students participate in practical courses, seminars and lectures designed to fit their needs to become an interdisciplinary scientist. Biologist will learn engineering aspects and clinical applications, engineers get insights into biological processes and clinical problems, and medical students will receive special training in engineering and natural sciences. Students will be highly encouraged to participate in international conferences and to go on a lab exchange with the partner universities, the National University of Singapore, Stanford University, the University of Oxford, the University of Queensland and the University of Pittsburgh.
