6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

Vascular fingerprinting: defining vascular cell provenance from molecular and cellular biology

University of Bradford

Yorkshire Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership

Project Description. The vascular system is a complex network of arteries, veins and microvascular vessels which are all exquisitely tuned to local and systemic perfusion and energy needs. Read more

Supervisors: Dr K Riches-Suman, Dr A Tedder, Dr P O'Toole

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Quantifying and Correcting the Effects of Ocular Ageing on Optical Coherence Tomography

University of Bradford

Yorkshire Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership

Project Description. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides detailed 3D imaging of the eye’s retina. OCT imaging is crucial to understanding the structure of the retina, and for diagnosing blinding diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Read more

Supervisors: Dr J Denniss, Dr NM McLoughlin, Prof ZH Huang

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Breathing in ageing: how fine particulate air pollution disrupts brain cell homeostasis.

University of Bradford

Yorkshire Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership

Project Description. Air pollution is one of the greatest environmental threats to human health. 99% of the world’s population lives where air quality exceeds WHO guidelines, which contributes to accelerated ageing, increased mortality and reduced health span [1–3]. Read more

Supervisors: Dr J Elies Gomez, Dr S Kantamneni, Prof N Gamper, Dr MM Morton

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Different but moving together: Mechanisms of heterogenous collective cell migration

University of Sheffield

School of Biosciences

Collective cell migration is fundamental to embryonic development, tissue repair and cancer invasion. Much of what we know about this process comes from studying relatively uniform groups of cells. Read more

Supervisors: Dr K Campbell, Dr Mehmet Can Ucar

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Understanding ESCRT-Mediated Proteostasis pathways for Neurodegenerative Disease Intervention

University of Bradford

Yorkshire Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership

Project Description. Neurodegenerative diseases affect over 50 million people worldwide, with limited therapeutic options and enormous societal costs. Read more

Supervisors: Dr S Kantamneni, Dr K Riches-Suman, Dr K de Vos

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Translational regulation by alternate transcript isoforms

University of Sheffield

School of Biosciences

How does a cell regulate the amount of protein made from a gene? While transcriptional regulation is extensively studied, the rules governing translation efficiency, how effectively an mRNA transcript is turned into protein, remains less well explored. Read more

Supervisors: Dr I Sudbery, Dr E Thomson

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Life and death in the age of vancomycin: visualising how Clostridioides difficile survives antibiotic treatment at the single cell level.

University of Sheffield

School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences

What if giving a patient more antibiotic let more bacteria survive?. That is what happens with Clostridioides difficile, the human pathogen that kills more than 2,000 people every year in the UK alone. Read more

Supervisors: Dr W Durham, Dr R Fagan, Dr S Forbes

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

The genetic and developmental control of complex nanostructure formation in butterfly wing scales

University of Sheffield

School of Biosciences

Butterfly wings are natural wonders, covered in colourful scales that are used for signalling, thermoregulation and to help with aerodynamic performance. Read more

Supervisors: Dr N Nadeau, Dr A Parnell, Dr K Campbell

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Engineering the invisible workforce: molecular insights into wheat root microbiome dynamics using a model synthetic community

University of Sheffield

School of Biosciences

Modern agriculture has altered plant microbial communities (the microbiota), causing a reduction in beneficial bacteria that support crop health. Read more

Supervisors: Dr I Lidbury, Dr S Amsbury, Dr J Mosely, Dr T Larson

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Engineering Stomatal Dynamics: Cell Wall Architecture, Remodelling and Deformation

University of Sheffield

School of Biosciences

How do plants control their stomata, the microscopic pores that determine how much CO₂ they take up and how much water they lose? Stomata open and close rapidly, requiring guard cells to undergo dramatic changes in shape and volume and the cell wall surrounding these cells must simultaneously be strong enough to constrain their shape and sufficiently dynamic to allow movement. Read more

Supervisors: Dr S Amsbury, Prof A Fleming

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Uncovering the molecular mechanisms of PIKfyve complex regulation

University of Sheffield

School of Biosciences

How cells control how they process intracellular compartments is key to maintain normal function and defective trafficking is often the main cause of diseases such as neurodegeneration and cancer. Read more

Supervisors: Prof J King, Dr D Humphreys

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Unravelling membrane-supported proton diffusion in synaptic vesicle bioenergetics

University of Sheffield

School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences

Brain function relies on fast, precise communication between neurons, mediated by the release of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. Read more

Supervisors: Prof N Amdursky, Dr M De Felice

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Multi-wavelength Raman spectroscopy for non-invasive differentiation of ageing and metabolic risk signatures in blood plasma and saliva

University of Huddersfield

Yorkshire Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership

Project Description. Could a simple saliva sample one day replace a blood test for health screening? This PhD project uses a laser-based technique called Raman spectroscopy, which reveals a chemical "fingerprint" of a biological sample without needles, chemical labels or lengthy lab processing. Read more
