The objectives of this programme are to provide young postdoctoral scientists with an opportunity for international exchange in a stimulating environment and to gain exposure to high quality basic research in laboratories that are world famous for their work in orthopedic tissue regeneration. Selected as potential leaders in the field of cartilage regeneration and repair, fellows will be accompanied on a approx. 10 day-tour to New York, Boston and Toronto led by distinguished and experienced Dr. Susan Chubinskaya from Rush University who will act as a mentor throughout the trip. The Fellowship Programme ends with attending the ICRS World Congress in Vancouver. The Fellows will be selected in open competition by an expert panel established through ON and the ICRS.
