Dear potential supervisor,
We are recruiting for the Year 2 MBBS CRI research experiences: 3-week research experiences for groups of four 2nd year medics from 24 May 2027 to 11 June 2027. Many of our fantastic medical students use this opportunity to identify supervisors for summer experiences, iBSc research projects, and future PhDs. Each group comes with £600 of flexible funding, and further information is attached. Please note that primary supervisors should have a PhD.
If you can offer a research experience:
- Reply to this email with the number of groups you can host (each group has 4 students).
- Complete the Qualtrics form by Friday, 30 October 2026.
Example projects from last year include:
- Comparative Analysis of Antiviral Immune Responses in Epithelial and Non-Epithelial Cells of COPD Patients and Healthy Controls
- Functional characterisation of Salmonella genes upregulated in infected macrophage
- Analysing the relationships between elite performance, diet, and bone health
- Development of an AI tool for automated interpretation of QT dispersion from digital 24h 12-leave ECGs
