PhD (Tissue Engineering) aim to provide a platform for the postgraduate student to perform research and develop therapies to repair the impaired tissue and restore its normal function using regenerative medicine approaches, especially tissue engineering.

Tissue Engineering is a rapidly expanding field for application in regenerative medicine, which seeks to improve, replace or regenerate the repaired or damaged tissues and organs in humans. It is a multidisciplinary field that require the assimilation of knowledge from biology, chemistry and engineering. Recent development in the area of regenerative medicine has brought much anticipation of its application in medical and healthcare arena in very near future. This program will enable the students, together with their supervisors, to identify the needs in clinical setting and then, to formulate and develop a solution for the problem using tissue engineering applications. The program conducted at

Department of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Research (DTERM), UKM will provide the students with interdisciplinary expert line-up, tissue-engineering laboratories equipped with excellent equipments, access to latest R&D technologies in the field, and an opportunity to collaborate with international academics. This course provides immediate career opportunity in the broad field of regenerative medicine.

• Meet all the postgraduate admission requirements set by UKM (refer to UKM postgraduate website)
• Masters degree in biology or related subjects (e.g. biology, biochemistry, biomedicine, biomedical engineering, material science etc.) from a recognized University
• Passed the interview by faculties at the Department of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine

Full time: 6-10 Semesters;
Part time: 10-14 Semesters.
Application and enrolment for PhD (Tissue Engineering) open throughout the year

The program involves research work in laboratory. The program is designed to train the student to scientifically study and report the findings in a research topic in the tissue-engineering field. Candidates will be guided and supervised by the faculties at the Centre for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine. Induction course upon entry to the program, scheduled weekly scientific meetings and other seminars and workshops will be the platform to gain and share knowledge in the area of tissue engineering. The student need to write up the research report in the form of thesis that will be examined and present it in other form of scientific communications such as journals and conference presentations.
