The Wellcome Trust & King's ’Advanced Therapies for Regenerative Medicine’ PhD Programme is designed to train a new generation of researchers in the therapies underpinning regenerative medicine. The Programme website is designed to explain the structure, funding and interdisciplinary training provided, with supervisors selected for their core expertise in cell transplantation, gene therapy and endogenous tissue repair.
Spagnoli Lab
Understanding the establishment of cellular identity is a major goal in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. Led by Professor Francesca Spagnoli, researchers at the Spagnoli Lab are interested in understanding the interplay between extrinsic signals and intrinsic determinants in establishing and maintaining cell identities.

About King's College London
King's College London is a research led university and one of the oldest university institutions in England. It is home to St Thomas’s Hospital Medical School which is one of the oldest medical schools in the UK with teaching dating back to 1550, as well as a founding partner of the Francis Crick Institute, one of the biggest biomedical laboratories in Europe. It is also home to one of the most famous pieces of scientific discovery - the double helix structure of DNA in 1953 by Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin, together with colleagues at the Randall Division of Cell and Molecular Biophysics at King's.
The site also features an archive of cohorts alongside the benefits and expertise researchers gain from King's campuses and departments including knowledge of bioengineering, stem cell and developmental biology, disease modelling, drug screens and cell tracking in patients.
