Location of The University of Manchester
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.
The Tissue Regeneration and Stem Cells research group covers two distinct but overlapping areas. Those working in the area of tissue regeneration, combining tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, are developing living cell-based biological approaches to aid the repair and regeneration of damaged and diseased tissues. This is a strongly interdisciplinary field of research, which combines the skills of cell, molecular and matrix biologists in the Faculty of Life Sciences with expertise in other Faculties including material, engineering and physical scientists and clinical and surgical specialists.
The Manchester Stem Cell Network is working to determine basic cellular mechanisms that regulate cell fate and devise therapeutic protocols to exploit stem cells, and draws on major interdisciplinary strengths in somatic stem cell research (pre-clinical and clinical trials are underway) and expertise in the isolation of stem cells from early human embryos. Research in stem cell biology is being applied to a number of major clinical targets, including neurodegenerative diseases, disorders of soft and hard connective tissues, diabetes and chronic tissue injury and repair. We also have innovative programmes that are investigating the relationship between stem cells and cancer.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
