Deadline: 30 June 2013
Overview
The TECAS Initial Training Network (TECAS-ITN) integrates the major
European investigators and experts in the field of cardiovascular
tissue engineering (TE) and regenerative medicine (RM), with a
view to establishing a European Doctoral Academy in Regenerative
Engineering. The aim of the Doctoral Academy is to facilitate the
cross-disciplinary and intersectorial training of Early Stage
Researchers (ESRs) in the field, by consolidating the extensive
multidisciplinary experience in training and research of its academic,
clinical and industrial Partners. The TECAS-ITN focuses on the clinical
needs of cardiac valve replacement/repair, myocardium reconstruction
and patch graft angioplasty of the great blood vessels, with a
view to developing the underpinning expertise and technology
for manufacturing cardiovascular TE implants for clinical use.
The TECAS-ITN will host 13 Marie Currie ESR Fellows at
6 different Partner Institutions, each performing an individual
research project that is placed along the innovation
pipeline of a number of TE products/technologies from basic
science to translational research.

Research Training
In addition to their research projects, the training
of the Doctoral Fellows will be complemented by project-specific Exchange
secondments to other TECAS-ITN Partners collaborating on a specific
Fellowship, Clinical secondments to the organ banks of the clinical
Partners, Industrial secondment to the industrial Partners and Laboratory
secondments to academic institution outside TECAS-ITN, as well as through
an extensive curriculum of academic and transferable skills courses and
workshops, and public engagement activities. The Fellows will also be
awarded specialist certificates, based on their individual training, which
will be recognised and endorsed by all academic and industrial Partners.
