Research Assistant Training Program (RATP) at CBRT
Biomedical and molecular research training is a core priority of CBRT. Through this initiative, we aim to contribute to the development of highly qualified professionals who will strengthen the biomedical research enterprise and advance medical science at large.
Our primary target group includes medical and health sciences graduates from Bangladesh, where limited resources and training opportunities have constrained the growth of biomedical research. We firmly believe that, when provided with structured training and meaningful opportunities, these young professionals can make significant contributions to scientific knowledge through mutually rewarding collaboration.
CBRT is committed to fostering successful research training that develops scientific, professional, and organizational leaders within and beyond the biomedical research enterprise. We actively pursue this goal by designing and implementing best practices in research training, promoting collaboration and networking, and bridging existing gaps in research capacity.
