The Cambridge Stem Cell Institute is a world-leading centre for stem cell research with a mission to transform human health through a deep understanding of stem cell biology. Our scientists study stem cell behaviour, both normal and pathological, and use their findings to improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
The Institute consists currently of approximately 28 outstanding research groups, working across three key research themes: Stem Cell States, Stem Cells in Disease and Stem Cells & Therapeutics.
Specialist postgraduate training in Stem Cell Biology and Medicine is essential to produce a stream of highly skilled and innovative investigators equipped with a deep understanding of stem cell science and its significance for future medicine.
Our overarching goal is to produce well-trained and rounded  postgraduates who have generated significant and original research findings and are fully prepared for an ambitious and challenging career, whether continuing in stem cell science or moving to another profession. 
The educational aims of the MRes are:
  • to give students with relevant experience at first-degree level the opportunity to carry out focussed research in the discipline under close supervision; 
  • to give students the opportunity to acquire or develop skills and expertise relevant to their research interests; and
  • to give students a comprehensive overview of both fundamentals and emerging themes in stem cell biology
