Funding

Current research in the Wan lab is supported by a number of sources.


In 2026, we will begin a new 6-year consortium project on Cilia coordination and function across scales, funded by the Wellcome Trust. We will be recruiting several positions at Exeter and also with our partner institutions, if interested, please send me an email to discuss.
