Current Anatomical Society Studentships

The Anatomical Society supports cutting edge modern research through a series of fully funded research studentships.  Each studentship is focused on a specific project associated with anatomical science.  Studentships are awarded on a competitive basis annually and only members of the Society can apply.  Projects that are currently funded are listed below.  Click on any of the project titles below for more information.

Development of olfactory ensheathing glia from neural crest.

Synthetic morphology:using synthetic biology modules to engineer model tissues.

A novel glial cell with neural stem cell properties.

The roles of planar cell polarity genes in a classical anatomical system:the cornea.

The role of the tenocyte in tendon ossification: inherent plasticity or environmental cues?

The establishment of pharyngeal segmentation.

Characterisation of the migration of neuroblasts during the formation of the cranial sensory ganglia.

Epigenetic regulation of transcriptional activity within the syncytiotrophoblast of human placenta.
