· Structure
Here you see the current structure of HBRS:
Hannover Biomedical Research School was founded in 2003. Since 2006, it has been supported in the course of the German Excellence Initiative (BMBF).
HBRS currently comprises of three international PhD programs [the PhD program “Molecular Medicine”, the PhD program “Infection Biology”(& DEWIN: Dynamik der Erreger-Wirt Interaktionen) and the PhD program “Regenerative Sciences”], one DFG-funded international research training site together with the Karolinska Institue in Stockholm, Sweden and one Marie Curie Initial Training Site in the field of tissue engineering. All PhD programs are in English.
A structured doctoral program for medical students was also successfully established (StrucMed; Dr.med./Dr.med.dent.), as well as two HBRS-associated Master programs “Biomedicine” (start October 2007) and “Biochemistry” (start October 2008).
In 2011, MHH and partner institutes have founded the "Voluntary Research Year" for high school graduates. (more info)
Currently, the various programs of HBRS host ~250 PhD students. In addition, ~40 medical students were accepted for StrucMed as well as 50 new Master students (in two programs) this year. There are about 50% international and around 25% medical doctors doing their PhD (~50% women).
