Doctoral Programme in Development and Regeneration (DevReg) and Gendered Innovation Alliance
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
