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.
