  Modelling brain development using human induced pluripotent stem cells
University of Oxford BBSRC Interdisciplinary Bioscience DTP
  Dr E Becker
Application Deadline: 11 January 2019
The human brain is arguably the most complex structure among living organisms. Its development from single cells into a highly elaborate and unique organ has intrigued scientists for generations, yet remains incompletely understood.

  Influence of underlying matrix on induced pluripotent stem cell differentiation and integration of trabecular meshwork cells
University of Liverpool Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease
  Dr CM Sheridan, Dr R Oldershaw
Applications accepted all year round
There is an urgent need for further treatment options for the blinding condition of Glaucoma Unfortunately with age there is a progressive loss of cells (Trabecular meshwork) from the eye’s outflow pathway which is even more severe with patients with glaucoma.

  Bioengineering stem cells for neuroprotection against stroke
University of Reading School of Biological Sciences
  Dr N Vasudevan, Dr E Delivopoulos, Prof S Nasuto
Applications accepted all year round
"Stroke, in particular ischaemic stroke, is the third major cause of death worldwide and there is significant health impairment in survivors.

  Regulation of autophagy in human embryonic stem cells and its therapeutic application in induced pluripotent stem cell-based disease models
University of Birmingham Institute of Cancer and Genomic Sciences
  Dr S Sarkar
Applications accepted all year round
Project background. Regulation of proteostasis is critical for maintaining tissue homeostasis. Autophagy, a major intracellular degradation pathway essential for cellular and energy homeostasis, functions in the clearance of aggregation-prone proteins and damaged organelles.

  Signalling pathways maintaining human embryonic stem cells
University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health
  Prof S J Kimber, Prof D Brison
Applications accepted all year round
The aim of this project is to determine the function of novel genes predicted to have critical roles in preimplantation human development and in disease in later life.

  Understanding Neuroinflammation through advanced in vitro 3D modelling using human Pluripotent Stem Cells
University of Oxford BBSRC Interdisciplinary Bioscience DTP
  Dr S Cowley, Prof W S James
Application Deadline: 25 January 2019
Microglia - brain-resident macrophages - carry out homeostatic surveillance functions in the brain, clearing dying cells, extracellular debris, and pruning synapses during development.
