A big data and bioinformatics study to predict and prevent Saprolegniosis outbreaks in Scottish salmon farms
This research project is a prestigious industry fully funded 42 month PhD bioinformatic and modelling studentship that also will provide essential networking in the aquaculture industry. Read more
Determining the role of mitochondrial DNA variation in hepatic pathways and its impact on physiology, pharmacology and toxicology: a combined in vitro and bioinformatic approach.
Project Background and Aims. It is widely known that differences in the nuclear genome contribute to aspects of us as individuals, from hair colour to lifespan. Read more
PhD in Neuroscience & Mental Health - How does the schizophrenia candidate gene Sp4 influences transcription during neurodevelopment?
Summary. Both common and rare variants in the gene encoding the neuronal transcription factor Sp4 have been linked to schizophrenia. Read more
Competition and cooperation relationships within human microbial communities.
Typical studies of the human microbiome identify dysbiosis by sampling from healthy individuals, comparing them to individuals with a particular disease state, and reporting changes in the presence and/or abundance of bacterial species. Read more
Imaging-based analysis of signalling pathways triggered by immune checkpoint receptors
Commercial partner: Gilead Sciences (Oxford). Read more
Epigenetic regulation of microglial gene expression in Alzheimer’s disease
Neuroinflammation is a prominent event Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis driven by activation of microglia, the brains resident immune cells. Read more
Evolution of antimicrobial resistance in bacterial microbiomes
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the GW4 BioMed2 MRC Doctoral Training Partnership which is offering up to 20 studentships for entry in September 2024. Read more
PhD in Infection, Immunity, Antimicrobial Resistance & Repair - Investigating long noncoding RNAs as novel therapies in chronic kidney disease
SUMMARY. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 15% of the global population and is associated with significant multimorbidity and high mortality, but has no cure. Read more

AstraZeneca funded PhD studentship: expanding the toolbox of molecular degraders through systematic degron discovery
Applications are invited for a fully funded, four-year PhD studentship based at the Cambridge Institute for Therapeutic Immunology and Infectious Disease (CITIID) and the new AstraZeneca Discovery Centre on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. Read more
Investigating the clinical and molecular significance of the microbiome in breast cancer
Breast Cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in the UK, accounting for 15% of new cancer cases. There is a significant unmet clinical need to understand why some cancers do not respond to treatment and what drives metastasis. Read more
Mechanistic analysis of neurodevelopmental disorders caused by mutations in the gene RAC1
RAC1 is a signalling protein that regulates many cellular processes and is essential during embryonic development. We recently discovered a novel genetic disease called RAC1-related neurodevelopmental disorder (RAC1-NDD) that results from mutations in the RAC1 gene. Read more
Cell Biology/Genetics: Identifying the mechanisms controlling HPGD expression and the functional consequences of HPGD increase
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a small lipid molecule frequently elevated during inflammation and cancer through increased synthesis by cyclo-oxygenase 2 (COX-2). Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Understanding the drivers of viral lifestyles in the soil microbiome
The viruses that infect bacteria, known as phages, represent a major component of the soil microbiome. Yet their functional role in regulating bacterial populations and nutrient cycling remains unclear despite our need to understand what constitutes a healthy soil microbiome for food security.
