Application accepted for either MSc by Research or PhD. One of the simplest and most provocative concepts in all of stem cell biology is how a single stem cell can give rise to any of the highly specialised cell types of a given tissue while also having the capacity to make a new equally potent stem cell.

Adult organs are maintained by specialised stem cells that persist throughout life thanks to their ability to make exact copies of themselves, all the time retaining the ability to on demand produce the differentiated component cells of the tissue of which they are a part. Read more

Funding may only be available to a limited set of nationalities and you should read the full programme details for further information.
4 Year PhD Programmes are extended PhD opportunities that involve more training and preparation. You will usually complete taught courses in your first year (sometimes equivalent to a Masters in your subject) before choosing and proposing your research project. You will then research and submit your thesis in the normal way.
The intestine provides an attractive route to model biologically important intestinal processes and a unique opportunity for the direct identification and analysis of factors that contribute to development and maintenance of both normal as well as the development of neoplasia. Read more

This project will generate human retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) for therapeutic testing. We will replace mouse tissue with human RGCs differentiated from patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) from dominant optic atrophy caused by mutation in the OPA1 gene and from normal controls.
