Programme supervisors

Students will be co-supervised by two IRR supervisors deemed most appropriate for their research project. Students will be assigned a PhD Thesis Committee consisting of at least four senior academics, who will provide advice and guidance, and who will perform official assessment of study progress.

Group leaders at IRR will be invited to propose rotation and PhD research projects to create a pool of projects for students on the programme. Projects will span the breath of research areas at IRR in the Centre for Inflammation Research (CIR) and Centre for Regenerative Medicine (CRM) and range from basic science to clinical and industrial translation projects. Information about IRR group leaders can be found on the websites below.
