Four Year (MRes + PhD) Programme in Stem Cell Biology & Medicine

Funded by Wellcome, this 4-year MRes + PhD programme provides students with an opportunity to spend time in three different labs during their first 'rotation' year, before making a decision about where they would like to undertake their PhD in years 2-4. The programme is suited to students who have not decided on a specific supervisor and/or do not have their own funding. The programme combines scientific excellence with a commitment to improving the working environment and transition support for trainees. We commit to being part of an evolving community of practitioners who will develop and share practice to bring science and culture together, placing both firmly at the heart of what we do.

We have six Wellcome studentships to offer for 2022 entry.

We also welcome applications from candidates with a Physical Sciences, Mathematical or Computational Sciences background who want to apply their knowledge to questions in stem cell biology.
