We have 627 biology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

MSc by Research: Role and mechanism of the bacterial Type VI secretion system

University of Dundee

Faculty of Life Sciences

Many species of bacteria use a contractile nanomachine known as the Type VI secretion system (T6SS) to deliver a wide range of toxic proteins, known as ‘effectors’, directly into neighbouring cells. Read more

Supervisor: Dr S Coulthurst

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

MSc by Research: Characterisation of human induced pluripotent stem cell derived kidney organoid system for use in drug discovery

University of Dundee

Faculty of Life Sciences

Only 5% of all drugs tested in animal models are approved for human applications. Most of these failures are due to unexpected toxicity or lack of efficacy. The poor translation from small mammal studies to humans often causes this challenge. Read more

MSc by Research: Exploring Bacillus biocontrol of Phytophthora raspberry root rot disease

University of Dundee

Faculty of Life Sciences

Domestic crop production, increasingly reliant on reduced fertiliser and agrochemical inputs whilst also achieving high yields, is necessary to maintain a high level of food security in the UK. Read more

MSc by Research: Targeting ‘Undruggable’ Oncoproteins via Induced Proximity

University of Dundee

Faculty of Life Sciences

Many well-established cancer drivers, such as K-Ras and β-catenin, have long been considered ‘undruggable’, as traditional drug development approaches have failed to effectively inhibit their activity. Read more

Supervisors: Prof G Sapkota, Dr S Virdee

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

MSc by Research: Functional mechanisms and inhibition of biomedically important calcium channels

University of Dundee

Faculty of Life Sciences

Ion channels are key components in every cell, bridging cell and organellar membranes for the traversal of charged species. Calcium channels are of particular physiological importance because of the central role calcium plays in cell signalling and cell death. Read more

Supervisors: Prof U Zachariae, Dr R Sknepnek

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

MSc by Research: Optimizing plant cell wall glycan extraction to support plant health and biotechnology research

University of Dundee

Faculty of Life Sciences

Plant cell wall glycans are a major component of plant biomass, essential for plant physiology, development, and protection against environmental stress and disease. Read more

Supervisor: Dr D Ndeh

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Identification of the molecular pathways that guide tissue regeneration.

University of Sheffield

School of Biosciences

Research Group: Development, Regeneration and Neurophysiology

The study of regenerative biology aims to elucidate the innate ability of organisms to replace tissues or organs after they have been removed or damaged. Read more

Supervisor: Dr H Roehl

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

MSc by Research: Bacillus subtilis biofilm formation and environmental stress

University of Dundee

Faculty of Life Sciences

Biofilms have a significant impact in many environments including medical and agricultural sectors. Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium that is widely used as a model organism to increase our understanding of biofilm formation. . Read more

MSc by Research: Study of Hydrocephalus and water channelopathy in C. elegans model

University of Dundee

Faculty of Life Sciences

Hydrocephalus or ‘water on the brain’ is an understudied, life-threatening condition characterised by excessive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) buildup in the brain [1]. Read more

Supervisor: Dr V Singh

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

MSc by Research: The forward facing path: epidermal development in cereals

University of Dundee

Faculty of Life Sciences

Plants living on land face brutal threats from pests, dehydration and temperature. To survive and thrive, land plants evolved a waxy ‘cuticle’ and distinctive epidermal cells such as gas pores and defensive barbs. Read more

Supervisor: Dr S McKim

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

MSc by Research: New technologies to monitor assembly of alternative forms of the proteasome

University of Dundee

Faculty of Life Sciences

The Rousseau lab is interested in decoding how protein degradation by the proteasome is regulated in cells so that accumulation of unfolded, misfolded, or damaged proteins can be cleared before they become deleterious. Read more

Supervisor: Dr A Rousseau

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

MSc by Research: Bacillus subtilis intraspecies interactions

University of Dundee

Faculty of Life Sciences

Interbacterial competition is ubiquitous and plays a key role in shaping diverse microbial communities, including the gut microbiota and in the rhizosphere. Read more
