This programme offers a unique environment with one of the largest and strongest concentrations of high-quality developmental and stem cell biologists anywhere in the world. For more details please see our departmental website. This programme provides training at the interface between developmental and stem cell biology and can be taken in either three or four years. The four year version includes a first year with rotations in three laboratories; both include working in the lab and active, small group training in key skills including good writing, experimental design, reviewing papers and many modern techniques. Many of our recent graduates have taken up postdoctoral positions, e.g. in the UK at UCL, the Francis Crick Institute and the University of Cambridge, in Europe at L'Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, ETHZ in Switzerland, the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry in Munich and the Danish Stem Cell Center in Copenhagen, and across the world at Scripps Research Institute in San Diego. Some have taken up positions at Cancer Research UK, the Institute of Cancer Research or in auditing, publishing and accountancy.
