stem cell research PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 95 stem cell research PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

PhD in stem cell modelling for neuropsychiatric disorders

This project provides a unique opportunity to explore the developmental origins of schizophrenia—a severe mental health disorder—using cutting-edge patient-derived stem cell models. Read more

Tissue Regeneration and Cancer MSc Research Programme

The Tissue Regeneration and Cancer MSc Research Programme at the University of Glasgow, will deliver high quality research, training and mentorship to excellent and ambitious students interested in cancer research, including- but not limited to- its intersection with stem cell biology, immunity, metabolism, development, regenerative biology, and behavioural science. Read more

Bioengineering a dynamic culture platform to improve the maturity of iPSC-derived muscle organoids

About the project. Heart disease is a critical health burden and leading cause of mortality worldwide. To understand disease mechanisms and develop future treatments for heart disease, we have developed a human cardiac organoid platform derived from pluripotent stem cells. Read more

MSc by Research: Non-canonical functions of SRSF protein kinase (SRPK) in pluripotent stem cells

The overarching goal of our research is to identify and characterise the protein kinase signalling pathways that control stem cell pluripotency and differentiation and determine how protein kinase signalling is disrupted to cause human developmental disorders. Read more

Disease mechanisms in the heart

We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in inherited cardiac conditions (cardiomyopathies) and biomechanical stress signalling led by Dr Katja Gehmlich (https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/cardiovascular-sciences/gehmlich-katja.aspx). Read more

Cell-matrix interface engineering for regenerative medicine applications and disease modelling

Dr. Mahetab Amer is seeking motivated students with backgrounds in tissue engineering, cell biology, materials science, or related fields to join her dynamic, multidisciplinary research group at the Division of Cell Matrix Biology and Regenerative Medicine, University of Manchester. Read more

Small molecule cancer drug discovery targeting resistant disease.

Despite continuous advances in targeted cancer therapy in recent years, there remains a major challenge to combat drug resistance and poor levels of efficacy in areas of unmet medical need, such as advanced colorectal and breast cancer. Read more

MSc by Research: Regulation and mechanics in polarized trafficking

Membranes and their protein organization are a frontier in our understanding of cell biology. We focus on polarized trafficking as a model to uncover fundamental mechanisms in the organization of structures at membranes. Read more

Investigating the link between chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease.

Research interests/description of main research theme.  Patients with chronic kidney disease are 40% more likely to develop cardiovascular disease, however, mechanisms driving the cardiovascular pathogenesis are unclear. Read more

MSc by Research: Function of presomitic mesoderm specific phosphorylation of the Notch intracellular domain in somitogenesis

The Notch signalling pathway is one of the key pathways required for the developing embryo. It is especially important for the process of somitogenesis, the formation of body segments that develop into e.g. Read more

Gene regulation in cancer metastasis

A PhD project studying gene regulation in cancer metastasis is available in the laboratory of Dr. Fiona Wardle (https://www.kcl.ac.uk/research/wardle-group) in the Randall Centre for Cell and Molecular Biophysics, King’s College London. Read more

Exploring the role of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) in stem cells of serous ovarian cancer

  Research Group: Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the leading cause of mortality in women due to gynaecological cancers. High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) accounts for 70-80% of patients with EOC. Read more

School of Life Sciences Black Scholars Programme

The School of Life Sciences and the University of Dundee are committed to addressing under-representation in postgraduate research and we are pleased to offer our first Masters by Research Scholarships for UK students from Black or Black-Mixed Backgrounds. Read more

Mechanisms of Cancer Stem Cell Survival, Metastasis Formation and Immune Evasion in Cancer

Recent research suggests that cancer cells within a tumour represent a highly heterogeneous cell population. In particular many tumours contain small percentage of cells that share several characteristics with stem cells. Read more
