Doctoral researchers of the SFB can participate in the training program of the Berlin School for Regenerative Therapies (BSRT). The BSRT was opened as a graduate school 203 of the German Excellence Initiative in 2008 and offers since then interdisciplinary training and research opportunities in the field of regenerative medicine for outstanding young scientists with a biological, engineering or clinical background.

We offer young clinicians the opportunity to carry out their research within the framework of the SFB 1444. As Clinician Scientists, these young clinical scientists ensure a close connection between the corresponding clinical departments (trauma and reconstructive surgery, orthopaedics, medical genetics) and this CRC.

SODAR (System for Omics Data Access and Retrieval) has been developed by CUBI, the Core Unit Bioinformatics (CUBI) of the Berlin Institute of Health. It provide easy and safe access to omics data, and its metadata, processing results, and logs. SODAR is a great help in organizing data and empowering users to manage access to their data and metadata curation. The main features of SODAR include web and command line interfaces for biomedical and computational users.

Our aim is to conduct pre-clinical research using models that simulate the disease under investigation as realistically as possible and are therefore close to the patient. This enables faster translation of new diagnostics and therapies from basic research to application in patients.
