How one archaeal cell becomes two
The origin of eukaryotic cell organisation remains one of the great unknowns in the history of life on earth. However, there is growing consensus that eukaryotes likely arose from a merger between an Asgard archaeal cell and an alpha-proteobacterial cell over a billion years ago. Read more
Gene Regulation in human organoids
We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic candidate with a background in stem cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, and/or developmental biology to study gene regulation in human organoids. Read more
Viral manipulation of host cell biology for biogenesis and immune evasion.
This project will investigate mechanisms of assembly, secretion and immune subversion adopted by (+)RNA viruses, with a particular emphasis on Dengue/Zika from the flavivirus and SARS-CoV-2 from the coronavirus families. Read more
Cell Biology/Genetics: Identifying the mechanisms controlling HPGD expression and the functional consequences of HPGD increase
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a small lipid molecule frequently elevated during inflammation and cancer through increased synthesis by cyclo-oxygenase 2 (COX-2). Read more
Understanding Cell Biology through Imaging
We study the trafficking and interaction of molecules and structures inside cells. Extracellular signals need to be processed in a correct manner for a cell to function properly. Read more
MScR: Understanding Cell Biology Through Imaging
We study the trafficking and interaction of molecules and structures inside cells. Extracellular signals need to be processed in a correct manner for a cell to function properly. Read more
Cell biology and evolution of cancer metastasis
We are interested in the spread of cancer, a process called metastasis. Metastasis is responsible for the majority of cancer deaths and there are currently no effective treatments to stop this process. Read more
Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipid Sensing Nuclear Receptors in Cancer
The nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily are ligand activated transcription factors. This means NRs can integrate signals from xenobiotics (drugs, nutrients), metabolites, and hormones to regulate gene expression and cell fate decisions. Read more
MSc by Research: Regulation and mechanics in polarized trafficking
Membranes and their protein organization are a frontier in our understanding of cell biology. We focus on polarized trafficking as a model to uncover fundamental mechanisms in the organization of structures at membranes. Read more
Cell-penetrating peptide uptake mechanisms - PhD position in cell biology at the University of Lausanne starting August 2023
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) allow the intracellular delivery of cargo molecules that are hooked to them. They are used in biology and medicine for therapeutic or research purposes. Read more
Live cell imaging of epithelial cancer cell proliferation for therapy
The School of Molecular & Cellular Biology invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2023/24. Read more
Cell biology underlying host-mycobacterium interactions
TB remains the world’s greatest infectious killer despite a vaccine (BCG) for a century and effective antibiotics for 60 years. TB’s persistence over millennia in the face of major medical advances underscores the ability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to evade and exploit host defences and antibiotics. 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
Chromatin remodelling complexes in human brain development
Chromatin regulators are a group of proteins that control the way the rest of the genome is opened up and “read” by the cellular machinery, with fundamental roles in development and disease. Read more
Roles of Extracellular Vesicles in cardiovascular biology
PhD student position is available to work on extracellular vesicles in cardiovascular biology. The position will be based in Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary. Read more
