Support for a Wellcome Trust / Academy of Medical Sciences Internship: Mila Roode (360G-Wellcome-079249_Z_06_G)

£5,150

The new Institute for Stem Cell Biology in Cambridge will be an international centre of excellence in fundamental stem cell research. The Institute will focus on definition of the genetic and biochemical mechanisms that control stem cell fate, providing foundations for applications in disease modelling, drug discovery and regenerative medicine. This proposal is for provision of core resources for embryonic stem cell manipulation and transgenesis. A central resource of skilled personnel will maximise research productivity and continuity, promote cooperation and synergy, and accelerate technological innovation. Timely and efficient production of customised gene-modified stem cells and mice is essential underpinning. Specialised expertise will support advanced genetic engineering of mouse and human stem cells, and operation of robotic platforms to develop screening methodologies for isolating genetic, protein and chemical regulators. A dedicated PdD programme in stem cell biology will capitalise on the opportunity for high level research training provided by the intellectual environment and core facilities in the Institute. A Strategic Award will immediately establish the Institute for Stem Cell Biology amongst the best-resourced and most attractive environments for stem cell research world-wide, providing a magnet for recruitment, and a much-needed focus for UK and European stem cell biology.
