Introduction

Chondrocytes en 3D The GP M4R (Repair, Replace, Regenerate, Reprogram) is an international training programme that enables students to study new therapeutic approaches in Medicine 4R.
These approaches are dedicated to replacement, repair, regeneration and reprogramming in order to restore the functions of cells, tissues or organs. These approaches include regenerative medicine (tissue engineering treatment, cell therapy and gene therapy), biotechnology (biomedicines) and medical devices.
This GP is interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary, combining cell biology, molecular biology, genetics, biomaterials science, chemistry, physics and galenics.

 

Why joining the Graduate Programme 4R, Repair, Replace, Regenerate, Reprogramme?

Our Graduate Programmes rely on student trainings through basic and translational research.

GP M4R scientific areas:

Development, regulation, study and investigation tools:
