Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience

 

The Department has a thriving postgraduate community of circa 100 students. They are involved in projects that span the research in the department, which is broadly divided into 4 thematic areas: Cellular and Systems Physiology; Developmental Biology and Reproduction; Neuroscience; Form and Function.  Visit our research pages for some examples of possible PDN projects and also more detailed information on our research.

The Department is centrally located, housed in two buildings on the Downing Site. Some members of staff are located in the Wellcome Trust/Cancer Research UK Gurdon Institute and in the Wellcome - MRC Cambridge Stem Cell Institute. We also accommodate the Centre for Trophoblast Research and have strong collaborative links with the Clinical School, the Cambridge Centre for Brain Repair.

We offer excellent opportunities and facilities for training in research, leading to the degree of PhD (Doctor of Philosophy), or MPhil (Master of Philosophy) in the Biological Sciences.
