Regenerative Biology and Medicine

Regenerative Biology and Medicine (RegBioMed) is an international Master's programme that has nurtured academia- and industry-ready graduates for over a decade. Join us and discover how stem cells, molecular biology, and tissue engineering converge to shape the regenerative medicine of the future. Dive into one of the most rapidly developing fields at the interface of science and clinical practice. During the course of the studies, you will be guided by renowned scientists from the Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden. Their expertise is complemented by their colleagues from the Biotechnology Center (BIOTEC), the Medical Faculty Carl Gustav Carus, the Faculty of Mathematics and Science of TU Dresden, and the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetics. The Regenerative Biology and Medicine programme is not your ordinary classroom experience. It is a fusion of theoretical classes and hands-on experience. On top of various lab practicals, you will have two extensive laboratory rotations in the second and third semesters. You will work on your individual lab project for 15 weeks side by side with leading experts at the Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD) and its cooperating institutes and clinics. After learning the fundamentals of regenerative biology in the first semester, you will transition to the second semester, where you choose one of three focus areas: Regenerative Cell Biology – offers in-depth knowledge of the central molecular and cellular mechanisms of development and regeneration of tissues and organs of the most important model organisms and the associated current experimental analysis methods. Regenerative Neuroscience – covers in-depth knowledge of cellular, molecular, systemic, and regenerative neurosciences and the associated current experimental analysis methods as well as the clinical concepts of diseases for which neuro-regenerative therapies exist or are in development. Regenerative Medicine – offers in-depth knowledge of the pathology of diseases and the affected organ systems as well as the associated clinical concepts of regenerative medicine including the translation process from bench to bedside.
