We have 805 cell PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Funded PhD- Investigating the mechanisms underlying Professional killer cell dysfunction in dengue
Background & preliminary data. Dengue virus (DENV) co-circulates as four serotypes (DENV1-4) and causes symptoms ranging from uncomplicated febrile illness to lifethreatening severe dengue (SD) characterized by plasma leakage, haemorrhage and hypovolemic shock. Read more
Investigate cytoskeletal networks controlling cancer cell migration at the systems level.
Cell migration is fundamental for the existence of multicellular animals, including humans, as certain cells migrate throughout the embryo to form specific tissues. Read more
Identifying causal pathways to disease using DNA methylation predicted blood traits.
Project Background. Blood cell types have been implicated in pathogenesis of chronic diseases. Genome wide association studies have identified thousands of variants associated with blood trait variation. Read more
Uncovering the role of epigenetics in modifying disease risk.
Genetic and environmental factors influencing our health outcomes. Independent effects of genetic and environmental factors on diseases are well known but studies where both genes and environment are included are lacking. Read more
Dissecting cell wall glucan function in intercellular signalling and plant environmental interactions
Apply to join the Benitez-Alfonso team in their quest to dissect the mechanisms underpinning the function of beta-1,3 glucan polymers in plant growth and development. Read more
Investigate the molecular mechanism controlling FEME (Fast Endophilin Mediated Endocytosis) in directed cancer cell migration using CRISPR, biochemistry, and advanced microscopy methods.
Cancer is a devastating disease. more than one in three people in the UK will develop cancer in their lifetime. Metastasis is the primary cause of cancer related deaths. Read more
Studying the impact of parasitic worm infections on intestinal stem cell fate and differentiation
Project Overview. Whipworms infect hundreds of millions of people and cause trichuriasis, a major neglected disease. These large metazoan parasites inhabit a multi-intracellular niche within their host gut lining, where they can remain for years. Read more
What is the interrelationship between cell mitosis and cell polarity during apical-basal polarisation of epithelial organs?
My group strives to uncover how mechanics and biochemical signalling work together to shape epithelial organs during development. Read more
Cancer: Inhibiting cell metabolism to enhance tumour cell death
All the cells in our bodies are programmed to die. As they get older, our cells accumulate toxic molecules that make them sick. In response, they eventually break down and die, clearing the way for new, healthy cells to grow. Read more
Non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases – towards an innovative alternative therapy using helminth infections or helminth-derived products
This project provides an annual stipend of £19,237. . Project advert. Parasitic worms called helminths are the most common infectious agents worldwide with 3.5 billion infected people. Read more
Modelling synergistic interactions between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a.k.a. “forever chemicals”, with cell painting and machine learning
We are all exposed to a myriad of chemicals through the environment, throughout the day. By air, water, and food, everyone is continuously exposed to hundreds of chemicals at low levels. Read more
MSc by Research: Investigation of coordination of cell divisions during early embryonic development
Gastrulation is an essential process in early development, during which the forming ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm take up their correct positions in the embryo. Read more
MSc By Research: Cell based assays for the detection of environmental toxins
The MSc by Research programme at the University of Aberdeen is for students interested in a research-intensive master's degree. It is designed specifically to enhance your skills for a PhD or research career. Read more
Mechanisms regulating blood stem cell self-renewal and differentiation
Project Overview. The Wilkinson research group focuses on the biology and translational applications of blood-forming haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Read more
PhD Opportunity - Investigating the cell biology of Neoparamoeba perurans, a causative agent of Amoebic Gill Disease, and its endosymbiont kinetoplastid, Perkinsela.
