PhD Programme: Regenerative Sciences (PhD RegSci)
Hannover Medical School (MHH)
Program Overview
The Regenerative Sciences PhD programme (PhD RegSci) at the MHH (Hannover Medical School) focuses on novel regenerative agents and biomaterials as well as cell transplants, artificial tissues, and cell-enhanced bioimplants. Doctoral students must hold a Master's degree or its equivalent in biosciences, human or veterinary medicine, or an engineering discipline. The RegSci PhD programme was established in 2007 as part of the Cluster of Excellence REBIRTH – "From Regenerative Biology to Reconstructive Therapy". The interdisciplinary programme integrates all scientific and technological disciplines relevant to regenerative medicine and aims to combine excellent training with innovative science and experimental and clinical medicine. The development of novel regenerative therapies requires basic knowledge in biomedicine, including the molecular biology of the eukaryotic (stem) cell, pathomechanisms, and immunobiology. The curriculum also provides knowledge in cellular, genetic and biomedical engineering, bioinformatics, biotechnology, molecular imaging and biomaterials. Training within the RegSci PhD programme takes place across three levels: students carry out their own research projects, collectively participate in seminars and tutorials covering the aforementioned topics, and take courses tailored to their chosen research areas, along with courses focusing on transferable skills.

Salary Outlook
Typical range
The stated annual salary (e.g., TV-L E13: €50,000–€65,000 for 100%) refers to a full-time position. In practice, many universities and public research institutes (such as Leibniz institutes) offer part-time contracts, commonly 50%, 65%, or 75%, and only occasionally 100%. The actual salary is therefore proportional to the contract percentage. Applicants are strongly advised to clarify the employment percentage before accepting an offer.
Fresher, mid-level, and experienced ranges are linked to external sources so they stay auditable for applicants.

Teaching Language
English
As the PhD programme in Regenerative Sciences is an international programme, English is the language of instruction. Therefore, an excellent command of English is absolutely necessary. You can document your English proficiency either by completing a test such as TOEFL or IELTS or by demonstrating that you were already instructed in English at school or university. This documentation is waived for native speakers. Your fluency in English will be assessed during the interview.
