Deriving functional neurons from hIPSCs
Neuronal networks grown on petri dishes encode information as electrical activity. This activity is dictated by their underlying structural and functional connectivity. Read more
Investigating the cellular functions of Trappc9 in brain development and microcephaly
This PhD project will investigate the cellular functions of the Trafficking protein particle complex subunit 9 (Trappc9) and its roles in brain development. Read more
Developing neuroinformatic phenotypes for cerebral organoids
Human cerebral organoids are generated from stem cells, forming a brain-like tissue in the laboratory dish. When grown from patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), they offer an in vitro model for mechanistic studies of brain disorders and for personalised drug screening. Read more
Investigating the impact of psychedelic drug exposure on the human choroid plexus and cerebrospinal fluid dynamics using organoid models
The choroid plexus (ChP) is a vital yet understudied brain structure, responsible for secreting cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and forming the blood-CSF barrier (B-CSF-B). Read more
Exploring 3D bio-printing technology for fabrication of cardiovascular tissue
Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the primary cause of infant deaths. The primary treatment for CHD is surgery but the major problem with surgery for such defects is the lack of living replacement materials with the capacity of growth and regeneration. Read more
Control of gene expression in embryonic development
The impressive range of anatomical variations observed in animals along their body axis is the result of distinct control mechanisms governing gene expression. Read more
MSc By Research: Investigating the contextual mechanisms of WNT signalling in hypoblast vs extraembryonic mesoderm specification in early human development using stem cell models
The MSc by Research programme at the University of Aberdeen is for students interested in a research-intensive master's degree. It is designed specifically to enhance your skills for a PhD or research career. Read more
Mechanisms regulating blood stem cell self-renewal and differentiation
Project Overview. The Wilkinson research group focuses on the biology and translational applications of blood-forming haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Read more
(MRC DTP) Rational design of peptide-based cell delivery systems for stem cell therapies
Interested in exploring the untapped potential of stem cells in tissue regeneration and healing using cutting-edge interdisciplinary research techniques?. Read more
Functional interrogation of human gastrulation in bioprinted embryo models
Project Overview. Functional interrogation of human gastrulation in bioprinted embryo models. How do complex body patterns emerge in the early embryo? The first signs of the human body axis can be traced back to the second week of gestation. Read more
Cellular signalling mechanisms in iPSC-derived cardiovascular cells
Research Group:
Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) offer an advanced platform for disease modelling, drug discovery, and regenerative therapies. Read more
Utilising an innovative anticancer formulation alongside a low-level laser (Red and Blue) tailored to specific modifications to promote anticancer effects and expedite the repair of damaged cells.
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
The application of low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also recognised as photobiomodulation, uses low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to modulate cellular function. Read more
Neural Stem Cell – Niche Interactions in Mitochondrial Disease
Mitochondrial diseases are caused by defects in genes required for energy production and oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos). We find it intriguing that some patients with mitochondrial disease present late in life, with very tissue-specific phenotypes. Read more
Unravelling The Parallels Between Regeneration & Tumorigenesis
Project Overview. Some organisms, such as salamanders, retain a remarkable capacity for regeneration in various organs, which occurs through the process of epimorphic regeneration. Read more
Osteogenic-angiogenic coupling in fracture repair - Why do some patients fail to heal? (NDORMS-2025/11)
This full-time DPhil post at the Botnar Institute will use cutting edge laboratory and computational methods to interrogate the mechanisms underlying failed repair following scaphoid fracture. Read more
