The international PhD Program Bioengineering – Cell Therapies and Regenerative Medicine combines academic research with 3 complementary dimensions: Clinical, Industrial and International.
MD’s with vast clinical experience will contribute to training and supervision of students, allowing their access to clinical environment (Hospital de Santa Marta - Cardiology, Hospital de Santa Maria - Hematology, Hospital Garcia de Orta - Urology, Hospital Egas Moniz – Orthopedics, Otorrinolaryngology, Neurology, Instituto Português de Oncologia Francisco Gentil, Lisboa – Bone Marrow Transplantation, Hospital Curry Cabral – Intensive Care, Hospital Fernando Fonseca – Medicine IV, Hospital de São José - Pathology).
Several companies that pioneered the field of Regenerative Medicine in Portugal will contribute directly to training and supervision of students, as well as to host students in laboratory rotations.
