Project summary

Specialist post-graduate training in stem cell biology and medicine is essential to produce highly skilled and innovative investigators equipped with a deep understanding of stem cell science and its significance for future medicine. 

Our programme provides an environment that is intellectually rigorous and personally supportive for students, enabling them to set and attain research objectives. The programme is designed to develop analytical and critically-minded graduates. Since it began in 2008, the programme has evolved in response to the needs of students and to adapt to continuous developments in modern stem cell biology. 

Our overarching goal is to produce well-trained and rounded PhD graduates who have generated significant and original research findings and are fully prepared for an ambitious and challenging career, whether continuing in stem cell science or moving to another profession.
