A PhD studentship is available to study the roles of TGFβ factors in regulating
angiogenesis in the pancreas of a knockout mouse model. It is becoming increasingly clear that TGFβ factors are involved in many
cardiovascular disorders such as stroke, HHT and preeclampsia. This is an
excellent opportunity to gain experience in a field of major interest to the
medical and scientific community.
The successful candidate will carry out the research in newly furnished
laboratories in the Basic Science Department of The Royal Veterinary College
located in the heart of London, and will join a vibrant college‐wide research
community with over 120 PhD students.
The project spans physiology, signalling and molecular biology, hence the
student is expected to receive training and acquire skills that will strongly add
to his/her personal development as a reflective and technically competent
researcher. Any enquiries should be directed to Dr Abir Mukherjee at: amukherjee@rvc.ac.uk. Application forms and further details can be found at the link below. Applications should be submitted by
13 February 2009 and the project will commence in October 2009.
