Stem cells and limb regeneration

University of Cambridge

Cambridge Stem Cell Institute

Group Leader. Dr Mekayla Storer (Storer Group). Research Summary. The life of a salamander is an enviable thing. If this animal loses a limb, it can just grow another one. Read more

Supervisor: Dr M Storer

8 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Using stem cells to model the molecular mechanisms of exercise for dementia prevention

University of Birmingham

School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, affecting millions worldwide and placing an increasing burden on patients, families and healthcare systems. Read more

Supervisors: Dr RJ Elsworthy, Prof S Aldred

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Reversing stem cell ageing for next generation gene therapy applications to prevent blood cancers

University of York

Department of Biology

The challenge and technological breakthrough. Thousands of UK patients suffer annually from age-related bone marrow failure (BMF), cytopenias (lack of appropriate blood cells), and inherited BMF syndromes – all of which are precursors to acute myeloid leukaemia. Read more

Supervisors: Prof D G Kent, Dr A Conti, Dr D Boucher

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

UKRI BBSRC NEEDL DLA: From Electric Fields to Cell Fate: The Electrified Membrane Hypothesis

Durham University

BBSRC NEEDL DLA Partnership

Bioelectric cues regulate the migration, proliferation, survival and differentiation of diverse cell types, creating opportunities in tissue engineering and bioelectronic therapies. Read more

Supervisor: Dr M Staykova

24 November 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

Finding each blood stem cell in its neighbourhood: machine learning to map the bone marrow niche from multiplexed imaging and single-cell proteomics

University of York

Department of Biology

Your bone marrow makes hundreds of billions of new blood cells every day. A small population of haematopoietic stem cells sustains this for life from specialised neighbourhoods, or niches, shared with stromal cells, blood vessels and maturing blood cells. Read more

Supervisors: Dr W Grey, Dr C Anene, Dr A Droop

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

EASTBIO: Discovering the rules of stem cell self-organisation with AI-guided experimental design

University of Edinburgh

School of Regeneration and Repair (College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine)

What if we could watch groups of cells organise themselves into a tissue and automatically learn the rules by which these cells coordinate with each other? And what if we can then use those rules to optimise future experiments? In this project you will build the computational methods to achieve that. Read more

Supervisors: Dr L Schumacher, Dr G Blin

16 November 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Investigating age-related biochemical changes in motor neurons using an induced pluripotent stem cell in vitro model.

University of Liverpool

Institute of Life Course and Medical Sciences

The studentship aims to develop an in vitro model of human motor neurons, which can be used to investigate age-related impairment of motor neuron function and identify new treatments that can be used to treat chronic diseases associated with ageing. Read more

Supervisors: Dr R Oldershaw, Dr A Chadwick, Dr M Phelan, Prof R Barrett-Jolley

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Stabilising the Corneal Stem Cell Niche: LaNt α31 as a Regulator of Epithelial Repair and Regeneration

University of Liverpool

Institute of Life Course and Medical Sciences

Discover how a little‑known laminin‑related protein, LaNt α31, shapes the human limbal stem cell niche. Read more

Supervisors: Dr K Hamill, Dr C Zihni, Dr M Morgan

Effects of human stem cell secretomes and extracellular vesicles on invertebrate models of regeneration

University of Reading

School of Pharmacy

Project Overview. This project will explore the regenerative potential of secretomes derived from human mesenchymal stem cells and human neural crest-derived stem cells on invertebrate models. Read more

Supervisors: Prof D Widera, Prof V Khutoryanskiy

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Neurotransmitter signalling to central nervous system progenitor cells

University of Cambridge

Cambridge Stem Cell Institute

Group Leader. Professor Ragnhildur Thóra Káradóttir (Káradóttir Group). Keywords. CNS, myelin, Oligodendrocyte, neuroscience, stem cells, brain, Multiple Sclerosis. Read more

Supervisor: Dr R Karadottir

8 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Engineering the glycosylation of extracellular vesicles to maximize therapeutic functions

University of York

Department of Biology

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are produced by most human cells and carry important signals to neighbouring cells and tissues. This property can be exploited therapeutically by harvesting EVs from cell factories and using them for treating diseases such as arthritis. Read more

Supervisors: Prof D Ungar, Prof AJ Wood, Prof M E Webb

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

Epigenetics of early human embryonic development

University of Leicester

College of Life Sciences

Research Group: Molecular & Cell Biology

The 46th chromosome in XX female mammals, the second X, has to be switched off. That way females equalize gene dosage of X-linked genes with XY males. Read more

Supervisors: Dr Y Markaki, Dr MT Tellier

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Astrocyte Metabolism as Inspiration for Ultra‑Efficient Neuromorphic Computing (Ref: CM/EH-SF1/2026)

Loughborough University

Department of Chemistry

Astrocytes (the brain’s most abundant glial cells) play a crucial role in energy management, information processing, and neural support. Read more

Supervisors: Dr E Hill, Prof P Roach

1 July 2027 PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Understanding the molecular mechanisms of Wnt and Notch signalling during embryonic development

University of Liverpool

Institute of Life Course and Medical Sciences

This project uses cutting-edge 3D gastruloid models to reveal how the integration of Wnt and Notch (Wntch) signalling pathways drives cell fate decisions in the early mammalian embryo. Read more

Supervisors: Dr D Turner, Dr B Wilm
