Overview
Kings College London, School of Basic & Medical Biosciences, Centre for Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine
Our researchers are interested in how stem cells interact with their local environment, or niche. We believe that an understanding of these interactions is important for developing effective cell therapies in the clinic.
Based in Guy’s Hospital, the Centre acts as a focus for cutting-edge stem cell research taking place across King’s and its partner NHS Trusts, as part of King’s Health Partners.
Our research environment is enriched by expertise in pluripotent and adult tissue stem cells and includes researchers studying a range of diseases such as diabetes, skin fibrosis and acute liver failure.
One of the Centre’s innovative features is the ‘Stem Cell Hotel’ that provides dedicated laboratory space for collaborative studies of genotype/phenotype interactions in cells from healthy individuals and disease cohorts
Answering fundamental questions about biology in health and disease
We apply this to the development of innovative clinical practice, alongside providing a rigorous academic programme for students.
Our research investigates human health at all resolutions, from the molecular mechanisms underlying disease to clinical trials and medical applications.
Based at Guy’s and Denmark Hill campuses with over 450 staff, we educate the next generation of researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals. Our academic programme of research-enhanced teaching, consultancy and clinical practice is embedded across our five departments
