Overview
This Developmental and Stem Cell Biology programme fromm University College London (UCL) 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.
Careers
Many of our recent graduates have taken up postdoctoral positions, e.g. in the UK at UCL, the Francis Crick Institute, the University of Edinburgh and the Institute of Cancer Research; and in Europe at the Danish Stem Cell Center in Copenhagen.
Others have taken up analyst, consultant and specialist positions at Cancer Research UK, Amazon, Merck Ventures BV in Amsterdam and the Boston Consulting Group in Berlin.
Employability
UCL is an internationally recognised and respected institution. A graduate degree from UCL opens up numerous national and international employment opportunities.
Our students work with renowned mentors and are immersed in research at the cutting-edge of basic and biomedical science, emerging well-trained and well-rounded with outstanding skills, poised to take up posts in leading groups around the world. Most of our graduate students pursue very successful careers in science and medicine.
