Overview

Stem cells are a powerful research tool, offering exciting opportunities to model disease and explore the development of tissues, organ systems, and even body plans in vitro.

Stem cells in development: Learn how stem cells naturally differentiate from embryo to adult, informing strategies for engineering stem cell models of healthy and diseased organs and tissues in the laboratory.
Stem cells in disease: Whether derived from patients or generated via genome editing of healthy cells, stem cells can be used to build and study diseased organs and tissues. This enables investigation of disease mechanisms and drug candidate screening.
Stem cells in regeneration: Organs and tissues created from healthy stem cells — including those repaired through genome editing — are a promising source of cells for replacement therapies. Additionally, modulation of endogenous stem cells can promote healthy regeneration or suppress pathological processes.

As part of this MSc programme in Stem Cell Biology from University of East Anglia, you’ll also develop a wide range of transferable skills designed to enhance your employability in industry, government, and non-governmental organisations.

Upon completion, you’ll be well qualified to pursue PhD programmes nationally and internationally in this cutting-edge field.
