MSc Stem Cell Engineering for Regenerative Medicine
University of Glasgow
United Kingdom
Overview
We are committed to training a new generation of researchers in stem cell culture, engineering, regulation, and translation for the regenerative medicine field to help address the shortage of skills in the industrial life sciences sector.
The UK and beyond are seeing a rapid expansion of regenerative medicine with major centres dedicated to the production of cellular and acellular therapies and the rise of clinical trials. Therefore, there is a need for personnel with highly specific regenerative medicine expertise.
WHY THIS PROGRAMME
The Centre for the Cellular Microenvironment at our institution has been accredited by the Royal Society of Biology for the purpose of meeting the academic and experience requirements necessary for attaining Membership and Chartered Biologist (CBiol) status. Our MSc programme consists of research project training delivered under the supervision of renowned experts such as Professors Mathew Dalby, Manuel Salmeron-Sanchez, and Drs Catherine Berry, Mathis Riehle, and Cristina Gonzalez. This training provides students with a comprehensive understanding of stem cells and their potential within regenerative medicine, as well as knowledge of topics such as biophysics, scaffolds and tissues, ‘omic approaches to data handling, bioimaging, and bioinformatics.
CAREER PROSPECTS
Upon finishing, graduates will be prepared to pursue a career in stem cell engineering and regenerative medicine with multiple avenues, like:
- Regulation (e.g. MHRA, SNBTS, CGTC),
- Industry (e.g. regenerative medicine, pharma, toxicology),
- Academia ,
- Patenting and IP,
- Local government (governance and law)
- Science writing,
- Further research training via a PhD.
