We welcome the opportunity to work with postgraduate students, visiting researchers and external organisations as well as university staff who wish to join the centre. We also provide consultancy services across our fields of medical research expertise.

  • Find out more about studying for a research degree, either at masters (MRes) level or at doctoral (PhD) level, programmes which offer expert supervision, research career development and may be able to find supportive funding
  • Discover more below about opportunities to join us as a visiting researcher, becoming an associate member, collaborating with your organisation, or using our services and facilities.
  • We  look forward to hearing from 91¶¶Òõ staff researching in this area who are not yet members of the centre
  • You can also join us on digital media and keep in touch with our latest research updates.

Postgraduate research study with the Centre for Regenerative Medicine and Devices

We welcome scientists to join the centre for PhD supervision or to take our MRes in Regenerative Medicine and Devices.

There you will be making a difference to research within an evolving discipline where major clinical conditions are treated by pioneering implants, tissue engineering constructs, cell- and gene-therapy, and nanomedicines.

Please contact the centre at RegenerativeMedicineDevices@brighton.ac.uk for further information on postgraduate PhD research study in regenerative medicine or visit our page for PhD study in Regenerative Medicine and Devices. 

As part of the progress towards research study we also offer our research masters degree, Regenerative Medicine and Devices MRes, which provides the opportunity to develop your scientific and translational work.

 

For more information as to your PhD in regenerative medicine or to find out about our research masters degree, MSc Regenerative Medicine and devices, please contact us by email at: RegenerativeMedicineDevices@brighton.ac.uk

Collaborate and work with the Centre for Regenerative Medicine and Devices

Academic members of the Centre for Regenerative Medicine and Devices work on local, national and international research projects.

The university has invested around £52 million developing the health research environment, including the £24 million Huxley building, a £400K clinical simulation environment and a £19 million refurbishment of the Cockcroft Building. These laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and are overseen and maintained by a trained team of technicians and academics.

Centre staff have access to a range of facilities including electrophysiological, pharmacological, chemical, histological, radiochemical and molecular biology laboratories and a bioresource centre.

The Huxley Building (3,000m2 of laboratory space) and the refurbished Cockcroft building also house specialist facilities, including:

 

 

91¶¶Òõ Genomics Laboratory

The state-of-the-art, custom designed 91¶¶Òõ Genomics laboratory is housed within the Moulsecoomb campus at the 91¶¶Òõ.

If you are interested in accessing any of the genomics laboratory services, you can contact the team directly at Genomics@brighton.ac.uk.

Find out more about our 91¶¶Òõ Genomics laboratory at the 91¶¶Òõ. 

Image and Analysis Unit

Our Image and Analysis Unit is equipped with some of the most advanced microscopes in the south-east, including state-of-the-art high-resolution scanning electron microscopes (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).

Cell and Tissue Culture Facilities

The 91¶¶Òõ currently has both cell line and primary tissue culture laboratories housed within the Huxley Building.

Cell line Culture

The department has an extensive bank of both human and animal cell lines including those used for research in the fields of ageing, diabetes, signal transduction, biomaterial, STEM cell, cancer, neurodegeneration and musculo-skeletal biology.

The cell line laboratory has 7 work stations, catering for 50+ users yearly and is staffed by 3 full-time members of the technical staff

The lab also contains a hypoxic chamber allowing for cell growth under hypoxic conditions.

Primary Tissue Culture

The HTA registered primary tissue culture facility has access to 3 class II microbiological hoods. Within this facility we also undertake transduction and retroviral infection assays on a number of primary isolates.

Additional Facilities

To complement our biological facilities centre staff have access to a state-of-the-art NMR. Members can also draw upon a dedicated Human Movement Research Suite containing circa £800k of human movement and postural analysis equipment and have access to the  based at the 91¶¶Òõ and Sussex Medical School.

Much of our work is translated through links with the Public Health England and the local NHS. Researchers in the Centre also have access to the
