PhD in Regenerative Sciences
Join an interdisciplinary PhD programme at Hannover Medical School to advance regenerative medicine through cutting-edge research in biomaterials and cell therapies.
Best for:Best for master’s graduates in biosciences, medicine, or bioengineering with hands-on wet-lab experience and a passion for regenerative medicine, biomaterials, or cell-based therapies.
Overview
The PhD in Regenerative Sciences programme at Hannover Medical School (MHH) offers a structured, interdisciplinary doctoral track focused on regenerative agents, biomaterials, cell transplants, and bioimplants. Established in 2007 as part of the Cluster of Excellence REBIRTH, this programme integrates biomedical, engineering, and clinical disciplines to foster innovative research and training. Doctoral students conduct independent research projects while participating in seminars, tutorials, and transferable skills courses. The programme emphasizes collaborative supervision with a primary supervisor and two co-supervisors, ensuring a robust research environment. Applicants must hold a master’s degree in biosciences, medicine, or bioengineering and demonstrate wet-lab experience and a strong interest in regenerative sciences.
