Does perforin-2 form pores in two orientations?

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

Perforin-2 (Mpeg1) is an ancient pore-forming protein of the membrane attack complex perforin/cholesterol-dependent cytolysin (MACPF/CDC) family with essential roles in immunity. Read more

Supervisor: Dr P Kozic

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

Protein aggregates and neurodegeneration

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

To understand and ultimately treat neurodegenerative diseases characterised by protein aggregates, one must understand how these aggregates accumulate, how they become toxic to brain cells and the mechanisms which allow them to spread. Read more

Supervisor: Dr H McMahon

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

Connectomics of neural network plasticity

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

Connectomics is the study of biological neural networks at synaptic resolution. The resulting wiring diagrams teach us how information is processed in animal brains, including perception and behaviour [1]. Read more

Supervisor: Dr ST Truckenbrodt

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

DNA repair at stalled replication forks

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

Large multiprotein complexes perform many essential functions in eukaryotic cells. My lab purifies, assays and determines structures of these macromolecular machines to understand their mechanisms. Read more

Supervisor: Dr L Passmore

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

Structural and cellular approaches to understand microtubule motors

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

Transport of organelles, RNAs and proteins is essential for the development, health and function of neurons.Defects in the microtubule motors that drive the transport is linked to neurodegenerative and developmental diseases and the transport process is frequently hijacked by viruses. Read more

Supervisor: Dr A Carter

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

Closing the loops: Unleashing the poteintial mTORC2.

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

mTORC2 can integrate multiple activating influences to positively influence anabolism, survival and cytoskeletal remodelling. We have characterised a positive feedback loop between mTORC2 and AKT and have shown that mTORC2 has a great potential for activation that has been overlooked in previous work. Read more

Supervisor: Dr R Williams

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

Non-protein ubiquitylation in infection and physiology

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

Ubiquitylation is essential for eukaryotic life. Until recently, proteins were the only substrates known to be modified with ubiquitin. Read more

Supervisor: Dr F Randow

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

Circuit basis of learning and action-selection

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

The overall goal of our research is to discover the circuit implementation of learning and action selection. Read more
