Postgraduate Funds
We are delighted to offer two postgraduate funds for travel, conferences and other costs in support of postgraduate study.
Isabelle Bouhon Fund
The Isabelle Bouhon Fund was established by Mme Bouhon-Bustin along with other donors in memory of her daughter, Isabelle Bouhon, to promote the education and recognition of early-stage researchers in the field of Regenerative Medicine. Isabelle was a dedicated scientist whose contribution to the development of defined conditions for neural differentiation from ES cells will endure and have lasting impact.
The principal objective of the Isabelle Bouhon Fund is to promote the education and recognition of excellent researchers who are at an early stage of their academic careers in the University in the field of Regenerative Medicine. The Managers of the Isabelle Bouhon Fund intend to provide funds annually to support travel/collaboration scholarships, particularly to present research, and for training courses.
