Available studentships
To apply for a studentship, you must use the University online application system. Before clicking the 'Apply' button, you should change the start date to October 2010.
Please note that, due to problems with the new online system, there is no specific option for the 4 year programme. All applicants should choose 'PhD (full time) 3 years'. Your programme preference can be explained fully in the uploaded covering letter (see below).
Please also note that, at present, we do not offer stand-alone Masters degrees and part-time PhD degrees.
Applicants should include in their application a covering letter indicating which supervisor(s) they are interested in, the type of PhD programme(s) they wish to be considered for (the four-year programme, the three-year programme or both programmes) and why they are interested in a PhD in Stem Cell Research. The covering letter can be uploaded as part of the online application.
The role of c-Kit signaling in recruitment and development of early T-cell progenitors in the thymus: identification of an ETP niche
PhD studentship with Professor Claus Nerlov, Tissue Stem Cell Genetics
Developing a transplantation assay for identification of liver stem cells
PhD Project with Prof Stuart Forbes and Dr Belinda Knight, Liver Stem Cells & Regeneration and Prof Claus Nerlov, Tissue Stem Cell Genetics
The aim of this project is to assay the in vivo hepatic repopulation ability of different populations of liver progenitor cells isolated by cell sorting using both surface marker exopression and transgenic fluorescent reporters.
Derivation of thymic epithelial cells from human ES cells
Therapeutic repopulation of liver from iPS derived hepatocytes
PhD Project with Prof Stuart Forbes, Liver Stem Cells & Regeneration and Dr David Hay, Human Embryonic Stem Cell Hepatocyte Development
Background:
Mechanisms controlling the coordination of alternative lineage choices in embryonic stem cells
PhD studentship with Dr Sally Lowell, Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation
Our laboratory aims to understand the early lineage decisions of embryonic stem (ES) cells. At present, most ES cell differentiation protocols generate heterogeneous mixtures of different cell types. We aim to understand why it is that some ES cells in a population respond differently from their neighbours.
Dissection of somatic cell reprogramming using highly efficient drug inducible systems
Studentship with Dr Keisuke Kaji, Biology of Reprogramming
Molecular mechanisms of haematopoietic stem cell development
Studentship with Prof Alexander Medvinsky, Ontogeny of Haematopoietic Stem Cells
