Posted on 13 November 2012

Dr Stuart Jenkins has been awarded an EPSRC Landscape Fellowship (E-TERM, Engineering Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine) for his work on magnetic nanoparticle-mediated gene delivery.

‌ This two-year Fellowship (award £200,000) was awarded following interview by a panel of biotechnology industry experts.  It is affiliated with the EPSRC Doctoral Training Centre (DTC) in Regenerative Medicine held by the Regenerative Medicine group at Keele. The project aims to develop methods to optimise magnetic nanoparticle-mediated gene delivery to neural transplant cells, with the goal of augmenting regeneration in the central nervous system. Stuart recently completed his PhD on this topic in Dr Divya Chari’s laboratory, where the fellowship will also be based.
