PhD programmes are based on individual research projects that last 3 or 4 years, working with a specific academic supervisor (principle investigators). Applicants are specifically matched with a principle investigator based on their research interests and background.
Developmental Biology is the study of the processes by which complex organisms develop from fertilized eggs. Research in Manchester investigates the fundamental events underlying normal development and how these are subverted in disease. Specific interests include: pluripotency, cell fate specification and differentiation; patterning and organogenesis; cell signalling; epithelial development and morphogenesis; cell adhesion in development; and the developmental role of genes involved in human diseases including epidermal, heart and craniofacial defects. The newly established Healing Foundation Centre investigates the cellular and molecular basis of tissue repair and regeneration. Our research utilises a variety of model organisms including Dictyostelium, Drosophila, chick,mouse, Xenopus and zebrafish, and a diversity of state-of the-art techniques including various types of genetic analysis, transgenesis, gene targeting, expression profiling, functional genomics, proteomics, imaging, electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography.
