Institute of Cellular Medicine
Newcastle University
The ethos of the Institute of Cellular Medicine at Newcastle University is to facilitate the translation of the highest quality biomedical research into improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. This is only achievable because of our extremely strong links with areas of clinical and clinical research speciality within Newcastle-upon-Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Members of the Institute are actively involved in clinical management, clinical research and translational research in diverse areas such as musculoskeletal disease (both rheumatology and orthopaedic surgery), diabetes, hepatology, dermatology, transplantation, pharmacology and toxicology, reproductive medicine.
We have a thriving community of approximately 120 research students, studying for PhD and MD degrees. Our postgraduate students also receive support and training from the Faculty of Medical Sciences Graduate School and have access to excellent research facilities within the Institute and in the wider University community.
We currently have the following funded MRes/PhD opportunities available:
