Fully Funded PhD Opportunity: Stem Cell Models for Autologous Cell Replacement Therapy

University of Birmingham - Department of Metabolism and Systems Science

Qualification Type:	PhD
Location:	Birmingham
Funding for:	UK Students
Funding amount:	Fully funded
Hours:	Full Time

Placed On:	7th April 2025
Closes:	30th June 2025

We are offering an exciting fully funded PhD studentship (for students eligible for UK home fees) starting in September 2025 for a motivated and successful student interested in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. This project will focus on developing patient-derived stem cell models to advance autologous cell replacement therapy for diabetes.

The PhD will involve:

Generating patient-specific mutations in stem cells
Differentiating these cells into insulin-producing beta cells
Exploring genomics, cell biology, and molecular techniques to understand and optimize beta cell development

The successful candidate will gain hands-on experience in developmental biology, gene editing, stem cell differentiation, and molecular biology, working in a dynamic research environment dedicated to translational diabetes research.

We are looking for a passionate and curious scientist who envisions a future in research and is eager to develop expertise in stem cell-based therapies.

This PhD studentship is fully funded for applicants eligible for UK home fees—please check your eligibility.
