Published: 1 September 2021
SCMH student Philipp Boder submitted an application though the FOCuS programme and we are please to announce his success.
The Royal Society of Edinburgh, in collaboration with the Scottish Funding Council and the Scottish Government: RSE saltire early career Fellowships.
The purpose of the RSE saltire early career Fellowships is to provide PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and Early Career Researchers with a 3–12 month opportunity to focus on a research project of their choice in a university or research school in another country, thereby supporting career development and high-quality research production through European connections and collaboration via inbound/outbound research placements.
Philipp was supported by the FOCuS programme and would reccoment the programme to all in SCMH
Philipp said:
"I am delighted to have been awarded a Royal Society of Edinburgh Saltire Early Career Fellowship award! I will be undertaking a 3-month placement with Professor Nuria Montserrat at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia to explore the use of human kidney organoids as a model for studying renal physiology/disease. The overarching aim will be to transfer this technique back to Glasgow to further enhance renal research at SCMH.
I would like to thank all those who have supported me in my application, with special mentions to the FOCuS programme (Fellowship Opportunities in Cardiovascular Science). I would recommend this scheme for anyone at SCMH looking for professional guidance with personal fellowship awards at all academic levels."
A well deserved congratulations to Philipp, from all of us in SCMH.
