Vascularising human mini-brains in a dish

Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Trust BRC Translational Research (Non-Clinical) PhD Studentships

Blood vessels play a pivotal role in brain development and function. They promote tissue growth and survival by supplying nutrients and oxygen to surrounding tissues, signals to progenitor populations, as well as guiding neuronal migration. Read more

Exploring Molecular Pathways for Improved Neural Regeneration in Spinal Cord Injury

University of Portsmouth School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences

In the UK, 50,000 people currently live with spinal cord injury (SCI), and an additional 2,500 new cases are reported annually. SCI results in a permanent loss of sensation and movement, serving as a primary cause of paralysis for which effective treatments are currently unavailable. Read more
