EastBio - Identification of novel mitochondrial mechanisms in cellular homeostasis

University of Dundee

Faculty of Life Sciences

Molecular dissection of the protein kinase PINK1 and ubiquitin ligase Parkin has revealed a highly conserved mitochondrial quality control pathway found in nearly every cell type including neurons. Read more

Supervisors: Prof M Muqit, Prof D Alessi

16 November 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Where do plants make their medicine? Mapping chemical defence one cell at a time (NOBORI_T27DTP)

The Sainsbury Laboratory

Graduate Programme

When a pathogen attacks, a plant fights back with chemistry. However, not every cell uses the same defence. Our recent single-cell study revealed an unexpected division of labour in infected leaves. Read more

Supervisor: Dr TN Nobori

30 November 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

One cell at a time: uncovering enhancer control of blood and cardiovascular fate using single-cell multi-omics (MOK_U27DTP)

University of East Anglia

School of Biological Sciences

Primary Supervisor - Dr Gi Fay (Geoffrey) Mok. The cardiovascular system - comprising the heart, blood and blood vessels - is the first functional organ system to form during vertebrate development. Read more

Supervisor: Dr G Mok

30 November 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Manipulating meiotic crossover control in wheat (MORGAN_J27DTP)

John Innes Centre

Graduate Programme

Meiotic recombination generates the genetic diversity on which both evolution and crop breeding depend. In wheat and other cereals, crossovers are strongly biased towards certain regions of the genome, leaving vast stretches almost untouched. Read more

Supervisor: Dr C Morgan

30 November 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Cracking the carbohydrate code: how carbohydrate-binding modules control starch digestion (KHIMYAK_U27DTP)

University of East Anglia

School of Chemistry

Primary Supervisor - Professor Yaroslav Khimyak. Why this matters. Starch is the principal source of dietary glucose, and the rate at which it is digested has major consequences for metabolic health. Read more

Supervisor: Prof Y Khimyak

30 November 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Functional genomics of sexually antagonistic selection (GRIESHOP_U27DTP)

University of East Anglia

School of Biological Sciences

Primary Supervisor - Dr Karl Grieshop. Why do harmful genes persist in populations instead of being removed by natural selection? One answer lies in sexual antagonism. Read more

Supervisor: Dr K Grieshop

30 November 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Where does Salmonella hide? Using Organ-on-Chip technology to uncover the secrets of persistent infection (LANGRIDGE_Q27DTP)

Quadram Institute Bioscience

Graduate Programme

Persistent asymptomatic infections remain an important but poorly understood public health challenge. Salmonella infections can become persistent, contributing to ongoing transmission, recurrent disease and potential prolonged antimicrobial exposure. Read more

Supervisor: Dr G Langridge

30 November 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

PhD Opportunities in the Cambridge Institute of Medical Research, University of Cambridge

University of Cambridge

Cambridge Institute for Medical Research

Funding Application deadline. 23:59pm (midnight) UK time on Tuesday 8th December 2026. Connecting the fine details of how cells work with the big picture of human disease is the fastest route to both scientific breakthroughs and therapeutic advances. Read more

Funded PhD Programme (UK Students Only) 4 Year PhD Programme

EASTBIO: Decoding stress responsive RNA protein interactions and isoform regulation in cardiomyocytes

University of Edinburgh

School of Neurological and Cardiovascular Sciences (College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine)

Cells survive changing environments by rapidly altering how proteins engage with RNA, yet we do not know how cardiomyocytes reorganise their RNA-bound proteome during stress and recovery. Read more

Supervisors: Dr AB Beqqali, Dr S Granneman

16 November 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

EASTBIO: Characterization of miR-30d-5p as a novel target to help improve vascular function

University of Edinburgh

School of Neurological and Cardiovascular Sciences (College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine)

Healthy endothelial cell function is essential for vascular regulation of adequate blood flow, angiogenesis, and tissue repair. Endothelial cell dysfunction can occur as we age and it contributes to a wide variety of human diseases. Read more

Supervisors: Dr T Farr, Dr AC Caporali

16 November 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Deciphering acyl carrier protein dynamics in megasynthase enzymes by segmented isotope labelling and solid-state NMR

University of Warwick

Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership

Fatty acid synthases (FASs) and iterative polyketide synthases (iPKSs) are giant multifunctional enzymes that operate as molecular factories, producing fatty acids and structurally complex natural products. Read more

Supervisors: Prof J Lewandowski, Dr M Jenner

23 November 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Building a gateway to size: dissecting the molecular ruler of the flagellar transition zone

University of Warwick

Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership

Trypanosomes and their relatives are single-celled parasites that cause sleeping sickness, Chagas disease, leishmaniasis and nagana in livestock. Read more

Supervisors: Dr S Dean, Dr A Wendt

23 November 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Chemical Interrogation of Intracellular Redox Processes Using Metal-Based Probes

University of Warwick

Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership

Intracellular redox homeostasis governs fundamental biological processes, including cell signalling, metabolic adaptation, and cell death. Read more

Supervisors: Dr RL Lord, Dr H Bridgewater

23 November 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Die another way: cell clearance by cell-in-cell invasion

University of Warwick

Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership

Research topic. Billions of cells are eliminated from our body every day, which is vital to maintain normal tissue homeostasis and prevent inflammation. Read more

Supervisors: Dr M Smutny, Dr J James

23 November 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Function of the Trypanosoma cruzi amastigote flagellum

University of Warwick

Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership

Parasitism, in which one species benefits at the expense of another by living in or on it, is one of the most common modes of life. Read more

Supervisors: Dr M Lewis, Dr S Dean
