This project, which is in collaboration with Professor Richard Donnelly and Dr Gillian Manning, involves the study of pigment epithelium derived enzymes factor and other pro and anti-angiogenic regulators in human retinal cells.
The project will involve the culture of retinal endothelial cells and a range of methodologies to provide detailed mechanistic information on the mechanisms and site(s) of action of pro and anit-angiogenic regulators.
The successful student will work in the laboratories within the Graduate-Entry Medical School at the Derby City General Hospital, which opened in 2003. They will be registered for a PhD (MPhil in the first instance).
A highly-motivated and enthusiastic student is required who should have at least a 2.1 Honours degree or equivalent in an appropriate biological, chemical or physical science subject. Those with a 2.2, but with a relevant MSc or MPhil, will also be considered. Some laboratory experience is desirable.
Due to funding restrictions, this three-year studentship only provides funding for students from the UK/EU and is available for a period of three years. The funding will provide a postgraduate stipend (which was £12,300 in October 2006) and home fees.
