Research Fellow in Arthritis & Regenerative Medicine


An exciting opportunity has arisen at the Centre for Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Health in the School of Medicine, Medical Sciences and Nutrition at the University of Aberdeen.


We have a Research Fellow position available on an ongoing project funded by Versus Arthritis through the Tissue Engineering & Regenerative Therapies Centre led by the University of Cambridge.

In this project, the Research Fellow will investigate the molecular and cellular regulation of progenitor cells in the joint to understand how these cells could be stimulated to promote cartilage repair and prevent or ameliorate osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis, affecting 1 in 6 adults, is the most common joint disease and a major cause of disability. It involves breakdown of cartilage and bone, leading to joint failure. In this disease, progenitor cells in the joint fail to repair cartilage. An attractive treatment option is the development of drugs that modify progenitor cell function to restore a healthy joint. This relies on a better understanding of these cells in joint health and disease.


Our lab has demonstrated that the synovium, a membrane that lines the cavity of joints such as the knee, harbours progenitor cells that have the ability to maintain and repair joint tissues including the cartilage in adult life.

Recently, using the latest single-cell technologies, our lab has defined distinct subtypes of progenitors in the joint.

We now seek to better understand their regulation in order to identify opportunities for the development of new therapies to promote cartilage repair and prevent or ameliorate osteoarthritis.

Salary will be at the appropriate point on the Grade 6, £36,333 per annum.
