Research Assistant Training Program (RATP) at CBRT

​Biomedical and molecular research training is the core priority for CBRT, and through this venture, we look forward to contributing to the development of highly qualified personnel to strengthen the biomedical research enterprise and the medical science at large.

Our primary target group is medical and health sciences graduates from Bangladesh. Due to a lack of practice and resources, the biomedical research field remains in its primitive shape in this part of the world. However, we strongly believe that if given proper training and opportunity, the young professionals will make a significant contribution to the body of science through a mutually rewarding interaction.

CBRT believes in successful research training in developing scientific, professional, and organizational leaders within and beyond the biomedical research enterprise. We are actively working to attain this goal by designing and implementing training best practices, and integrating that into initiatives, networking, and bridging the gaps.
