Wellcome Trust PhD Programmes 2024 entry

Hey people!

Thought I’d make this thread to connect with others who’ve applied to the any Wellcome Trust PhD programmes. A couple that I've seen around are:

Advanced Therapies for Regenerative medicine - KCL
Neuroimmune Interactions - KCL
Optical Biology - UCL
Translation Neuroscience - Edinburgh

Did anyone hear back about interviews already (at least for the programmes that closed their applications a month ago)?

Heya, sure - it’s the Advanced Therapies for Regenerative Medicine one. I’ll take it you also applied to a Wellcome PhD?
