Aim and content
This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD Students from NorDoc member universities. All other participants must pay the course fee.
Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at a Danish university, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline.
This also applies to PhD students from NorDoc member universities. After the enrollment deadline, available seats will be allocated to applicants on the waiting list.
Learning objectives
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
1. Understand the cellular and molecular basis of musculoskeletal soft tissue repair throughout the lifespan
2. Appreciate the current clinical challenges relating to failed tissue repair
3. Design a sound scientific study to address these challenges
4. Justify and defend the study design
5. Evaluate the merit of published articles in this field by acquiring an appreciation of the strengths and limitations of the design and analysis methods employed
Content
The basic principles of musculoskeletal soft tissue regeneration will be covered, with a translational link to clinical challenges. We will focus on skeletal muscle and tendon, and their attachment sites to the skeleton. Course teachers are internationally recognised leading experts in their field, for example:
• Potential and limitations of soft tissue repair and regeneration
• Determinants of stem cell fates and states
• Tendon-bone and tendon-muscle junctions
• Prehabilitation in clinical populations
• Immune cells and inflammation in tissue regeneration
• Dynamics of human soft tissue turnover
• Circadian rhythm in musculoskeletal soft tissues
Participants
PhD students or pre-PhD students working in the field of musculoskeletal soft tissue regeneration from a basic science or clinical perspective. This course is especially suited for students with backgrounds in for example molecular biomedicine, sports science, biology, and medicine.
Relevance to graduate programmes
The course is relevant to PhD students from the following graduate programmes at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences, UCPH:
- Basic and Clinical Research in Musculoskeletal Sciences
Language
English
Form
Lectures, group work, student presentations and group discussions. In addition, students are expected to read specified literature before attending the course.
