Doctoral Programme in Development and Regeneration (DevReg)
Developmental biology and regenerative medicine are regarded as strategic research areas at KI. The doctoral programme, connected to Renal Medicine at CLINTEC, aims to help students obtain a comprehensive view of the subjects and facilitates close contact with key experts in the field. As an added value, we provide resources and gender sensitive training to develop an open forum and network for KI - a Gendered Innovation Alliance.
DevReg interacts with several research areas at KI
Strategic research area (SRA) in stem cells and regenerative medicine

Sex, gender & diversity dimension aspects in biomedical research
Enabling Equitable Pain Management: Understanding gender bias in pain assessment and designing for equitable care delivery
Enabling Equitable Pain Management: Understanding gender bias in pain assessment and designing for equitable care delivery
A recent master's thesis by KTH student Anubhuti Gupta captures how biases exist and affect both the actors’ (patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs)) behaviours and actions throughout the pain management journey thus leading to a down-streaming effect on the treatment delivered. Based on the findings, new concepts were designed. The thesis was supervised by Karolina Kublickiene.
