AMPA receptor structure and function

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

Excitatory synapses are the principal sites at which information is integrated and stored in the brain, yet we still lack a molecularly resolved understanding of how their strength and plasticity are determined. Read more

Supervisor: Dr I Greger

8 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Lysosomal TMEM106B in brain ageing and disease

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

Our group studies mechanisms of brain health, ageing and disease focusing on the lysosomal protein transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) which forms amyloids in the brain in an age-dependent manner. Read more

Supervisor: Dr D Arseni

8 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

The molecular architecture of neurotransmission

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

Chemical synapses are cellular connections that define the organization and function of neuronal circuits and, as a result, the fundamental ability of the brain to acquire, process and store information. Read more

Supervisor: Dr R Aricescu

8 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

How TB-infected macrophages are cleared

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

Mycobacterium tuberculosis infects macrophages and can commandeer their machinery to survive intracellularly. Infected macrophages aggregate into granulomas, hallmark immunopathological structures of TB. Read more
