Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine MRes
Overview
This programme focuses on interdisciplinary research that seeks to convert stem cell research and technologies into cost-effective, ethically robust twenty-first century health solutions that will ameliorate degenerative diseases, the effects of ageing and serious injury.
This programme is delivered jointly with Durham University, with project opportunities in both universities.
