The Wellcome Trust has awarded funding to a four year PhD programme entitled 'Cell therapies and regenerative medicine' taking place in the Centre for Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine. The programme will fund five PhD students for three years and will train a new generation of researchers in regenerative medicine. PhD supervisors will be drawn from across the different divisions and campuses of King's College London.

LabTube caught up with Davide Danovi (Director - HipSci Cell Phenotyping) at 'Stem Cells in Drug Discovery 2015' in Cambridge. Davide discussed the HipSci cell phenotyping strategy and the benefits this provides for disease modelling and drug discovery.
