International Research Training Group "Molecular Pathogenesis of Male Reproductive Disorders"

The International Research Training Group (IRTG) 1871 facilitates collaboration and student training between researchers at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia and Justus-Liebig University. This unique collaboration comprises a large team of international experts in male reproductive medicine and provides training for PhD students in male reproductive health. Students within this research group have the opportunity to undertake a joint PhD working in one of the 11 projects of the IRTG, each tackling different aspects of male reproductive health issues and the biology that underpins testis function. These collaborative projects involve chief investigators/supervisors from both Monash and JLU, working together with students spending time at labs in both countries.
