Cell Biology, Development and Physiology Career Advisory Group
This review group shortlists candidates for Wellcome Early-Career Awards and Wellcome Career Development Awards.
Read more about what we do and don’t fund in discovery research.
This advisory group covers applications that aim to deliver a mechanistic and functional understanding of biological processes and architecture at a cellular, tissue and organismal level.
Some examples of this are:
- how cells function and interact with their environment
- how organisms develop, including neurodevelopment
- stem cell biology and regenerative biology
- functional processes at the cellular, tissue, or organismal level
- dysregulation of cellular behaviour and pathobiology of disease, including cancer
Proposed projects may span more than one funding area. You should choose the research subject area which aligns with the focus of the project.
