About this position
PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute / Tyser Group on emergence of form and function during early heart development.
The project explores how the mammalian heart begins to form and function during embryonic development, with a focus on heart development, cardiac progenitor cells, cardiomyocyte differentiation, and the relationship between the onset of contraction and heart morphology. The group uses imaging and molecular biology approaches in both human and mouse systems to study early cardiac development and congenital heart defects.
This is a competition-funded PhD project for students worldwide, but it is not core-funded; applicants must secure their own funding. The Cambridge Stem Cell Institute notes that funding options may be available and that applicants should also consider the University of Cambridge funding scheme.
Applicants must first secure the support of a supervisor within a laboratory before submitting a formal application. Prospective students are encouraged to contact Dr Richard Tyser (Tyser Group) to discuss supervision, project ideas, and funding options. The application is made through the PhD in Stem Cell Biology programme.
Research interests include developmental biology, cell biology, physiology, and translational approaches relevant to regenerative medicine and congenital heart disease.

What's required
Applicants must secure the support of a supervisor within a laboratory before submitting an application. Prospective students should contact the project supervisor(s) to discuss potential supervision, proposed research project, and funding options. The project is for the PhD in Stem Cell Biology; no core funding is provided, so candidates are expected to secure their own funding.
How to apply
Contact Dr Richard Tyser to discuss supervision and a potential project before applying. Secure a supervisor’s support in a laboratory, then submit an application to the PhD in Stem Cell Biology. Consider applying for University funding through the Applicant Portal by the funding deadline.
