This programme aims at training a new generation of researchers in advanced therapies for regenerative medicine. As cell and gene therapies enter the clinic in increasing numbers, there is a need to foster the basic science that underpin new therapies and introduce PhD scientists to the challenges and opportunities involved in translation and commercialisation. Our programme is designed for students, who wish to carry out high quality lab-based fundamental research and find solutions to challenging medical problems.
The programme provides an interdisciplinary training. PhD supervisors have been selected across departments from Kings campuses, for their expertise in core areas of relevance to regenerative medicine, including cell transplantation, gene therapy and endogenous tissue repair. Supervisors also have expertise in stem cell and developmental biology and knowledge of bioengineering, disease modelling, drug screens and cell tracking in patients. Students will appreciate the creative possibilities of working at the interface between different fields.
The Wellcome Trust ‘Advanced Therapies for Regenerative Medicine Doctoral Training Programme builds on our previous experience of creating a successful Wellcome Trust PhD programme in regenerative medicine.
In line with the Wellcomes new Research Culture (#ReimagineResearch), we are committed to provide scientific excellence in a positive working environment. Our programme will develop and share practices that bring science and culture together, placing both firmly at the heart of our training strategy and your research journey.
We offer:
You will require at least an upper second lower undergraduate degree, or equivalent in a STEM discipline.
Candidates who already hold a Masters degree can still apply and will need to complete the first year.
