TRAINING
Preparing the next generation of scientists in wound healing and extracellular matrix research.
Our overarching objective is to train the next generation of scientists in the connected fields of wound healing, extracellular matrix and proteolysis research. The foundation of PhD training is successful PhD research and REMOD-HEALING is built upon the concept of excellence-driven, collaborative research training, leveraging modern technologies such as advanced proteomics, structural biology, and AI-powered target identification to equip doctoral students with the tools and skills necessary to tackle the global challenge of wound healing.
Through secondments, doctoral students also experience international and intersectoral mobility within the REMOD-HEALING network, which is an advantage for their scientific project, their personal development, and their future employability.
A key element of our training are in-person summer schools. DCs will be exposed to state-of-the-art scientific techniques of protease-specific tools and assays, protein structure determination, a variety of mass spectrometric analyses, antibody generation and characterization, in vitro wound models to replace animal experiments, applications of AI in biotechnologies as well as novel strategies to detect and interfere with protease activities for the benefit of wound healing. Also, REMOD-HEALING educates in scientific integrity and career-enhancing transferable skills, e.g. science communication and entrepreneurship.
