The program offers inter-disciplinary research training at UConn Health and UConn Storrs combining the fields of biomedical science and engineering.<\/p>\n<p>The support provided is for two-years of graduate training to two PhD students at the University of Connecticut (School of Medicine or School of Engineering) who meet the criteria set forth by award. The institute has also been awarded NIH supplemental funding for one year of graduate training to three PhD students.<\/p>\n<h2>Goals<\/h2>\n<p>The T32 Doctoral Training Program aims to educate, support, and enhance the training of individuals dedicated to careers as independent clinical translational and basic scientists in the field of regenerative engineering. The program offers inter-disciplinary research training at the University of Connecticut combining the fields of biomedical science and engineering. Trainees are selected from current UConn graduate students who have completed their first or second year of PhD training. Trainees will become experts in regenerative engineering and its foundations to work towards the alleviation of human disease and musculoskeletal injuries by means of tissue regeneration.<\/p>\n<h2>Funding<\/h2>\n<p>National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS, T32AR079114).<\/p>\n<h2>Leadership<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/facultydirectory.uchc.edu\/profile?profileId=Laurencin-Cato\">Cato T.
