Education & Outreach
Historic Towns Trust
The Historic Towns Trust is a pioneering charity which researches and investigates how and why settlements developed the way they did in partnership with local historians, geographers and archaeologists. Their atlases and historical maps are part of an international programme used by individuals, schools, universities, and community groups. They support and promote a greater understanding and sharing of our urban past and raise awareness needed for restoration, sympathetic new development and urban regeneration.
Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition
The Summer Science Exhibition is the Royal Society's flagship public engagement event and its longest standing and largest public event, with a history dating back to 1778. Exhibits are selected competitively by a committee of Fellows of the Royal Society, industry leaders and public engagement experts. The Exhibition draws over 10,000 visitors each year, including around 2,000 primary and secondary school students.
Accellerate (Citizen Science)
Dr Priyanka Bhosale is a researcher studying oral cancer, and whether a specific gene affects how tumours develop. Her research focuses on the squamous epithelium and the basement membrane of the epithelium (the wavey looking structure), and how tumours develop in this area. Working with a team at Cellari to develop an AI that recognises cell data at the Centre for Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine (CSCRM), her colleagues Erika Wiseman and Jess Sells are using a citizen science campaign to accellerate Priyanka's research.
Islet Transplantation with Ella Hubber
The UK has the 5th highest incidences of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the world, with 24.5 cases per 100,000 individuals. Ella’s research focuses on using a type of adult stem cell called mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), to help support and improve islet function and survival.
'Skin' with Dr Clarisse Ganier
Dr Clarisse Ganier is a Centre for Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine (CSCRM) researcher studying the cells and structure of human skin. One of her areas of interest is the skin vasculature (the blood vessels that supply the skin) using a technology called optical coherence tomography. We've helped her develop a game to guess the body part based on OCT scans.
King's Global Lessons
An Elective Year Photography Competition and Exhibition led by the School of Medicine at King's College London. This reportage series follows Medical students around the world during their seminal Elective year as they provide medical aid and healthcare across a diversity of communities.

The History of Parliament site provides educational resources to help teachers and students discover British history and the role that Parliament played, as well as the places and campaigns they represented. They run competitions, exhibitions and workshops for KS3 through to 16-18 year olds.
Scientific Embroidery
Producing scientific embroidery and digital art interpreting research images by Watt Lab scientists, including human embryo, mouse oral keratinocytes, pancreatic organoid and skin ageing. This project included producing pattern templates for an outreach programme for a Royal Society Exhibition, allowing members of the public to stitch these designs into material life.
Wellcome & KCL Advanced Therapies for Regenerative Medicine PhD Programme
Recruitment website for the Wellcome Trust & King's PhD Programme targeting researchers in cell transplantation, gene therapy and endogenous tissue repair. 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.
Athena SWAN Symposium
The Athena SWAN Symposium is an event focused on promoting gender equality in higher education and research. The Athena SWAN (Scientific Women's Academic Network) is an equality charter mark framework and accreditation that recognises and celebrates good practices in higher education and research institutions towards the advancement of gender equality: representation, progression and success.
Women in Science Exhibition
A discussion of how to slow the rate of attrition of women from scientific careers takes place at an institutional level. This online exhibition showcases the collaboration between photographer Fanny Beckman and the Centre for Gene Therapy & Regenerative Medicine as they lend their voices and faces to the discussion.
