The RUB Summer School 2026 offers an interdisciplinary insight into translational research in vertebrate development, bringing together students and experts from medicine, biology, biotechnology, and related life sciences. Participants will explore how fundamental developmental biology research contributes to understanding human diseases, congenital malformations, and innovative therapeutic approaches.

Topics

The program covers a broad range of current research fields, including:

• Malformations in newborns
• Human syndromes
• Pediatric surgery
• Stem-cell-based disease modeling
• Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and organoids
• 3D bioprinting technologies
• Microsurgery in the chicken embryo
• Grafting to the Chorio-Allantoic Membrane (CAM)

Speakers

Participants will have the opportunity to learn from internationally recognized researchers and clinicians, including:

• Prof. Jochen Hubertus
• Prof. Ahmed Khalil
• Dr. Matthias Nissen
• Dr. Asmaa Mohammed
• Dr. Mahmoud Abdelaty
• Dr. Andreas Lipphaus

Organization

The Summer School is offered by the Faculties of Human Medicine and Biology at the Ruhr-University Bochum. Conductive lecturers: Prof. Dr. Beate Brand-Saberi (Medicine) and Prof. Dr. Stefan Wiese (Biology).

Target Group

The Summer School is open to students of Human Medicine as well as Bachelor’s and Master’s students of Biology and Stem Cell Research. Students can obtain from 4 up to 12 ECTS credits according to their study program. Please contact your student advisory service before registration.

Networking and Social Program

In addition to scientific lectures and practical training, participants can benefit from networking opportunities, project discussions, and a social program designed to foster international collaboration.

Registration takes place via personal email to Prof. Dr. Beate Brand-Saberi (beate.brand-saberi@rub.de). Please include “Summer School Registration” in the header.

Stem cell research is central to our understanding of how human life develops as well as how it leads us to the discovery of novel drugs using stem-cell based disease models and cellular therapies in regenerative medicine. Cellular reprogramming of somatic cells to induced, pluripotent stem (iPS) cells as well as direct cell transdifferentiations using combinations of transcription factors are the latest developments in these directions.  We predict that in the near future, a strong demand of educated biochemists with backgrounds in stem cell and regenerative medicine will find their places in basic research, medical research institutions, medicinal practices and in the pharmaceutical industry.

This demands in turn an advanced interdisciplinary educational approach starting in the field of chemistry of small molecules, bioinformatics of nucleic acids and protein networks, biochemistry of transcription factors, genetics and epigenetics, systems biology as well as nanotechnology and material sciences combined with molecular developmental and medicine training.

The Master program offered by Ruhr University Bochum invites you to chart the course for the medicine of the future, in Stem Cell, regenerative medicine.
