SWBio DTP PhD Project: Mechanisms of cell fate restriction in the neural crest – testing the Cyclical Fate Restriction model

University of Bath

Department of Life Sciences

This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the South West Biosciences Doctoral Training Partnership (SWBio DTP). Read more

Supervisor: Prof R N Kelsh

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

(MRC NW-DMS) Mapping how memory T cell responses develop and are maintained in tissue environments following infection

The University of Manchester

Division of Immunology, Immunity to Infection and Respiratory Medicine

Research Group: Division of Immunology, Immunity to Infection and Respiratory Medicine

Whilst much of immunological research involves disaggregating tissues into single-cell suspensions so that high parameter cell phenotyping can be performed accurately, this approach completely removes tissue context and information on where a cell is, what it interacts with, and how it is shaped by and shapes its local environment is lost.

Supervisors: Dr K Couper, Dr DD Dyer, Prof N Lockyer

27 November 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Dental Pulp Stem Cell–Advanced Biomaterial Constructs for Craniofacial Tissue Regeneration

The University of Manchester

Division of Dentistry

Research Group: Division of Dentistry

This laboratory-based project focuses on the regenerative potential of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) for craniofacial tissue engineering. Read more

Supervisors: Dr E Kushnerev, Prof J Yates, Prof J Gough

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

Determining metabolic reprogramming events in stem cells in response to inflammatory disease phenotype.

University of Liverpool

Institute of Life Course and Medical Sciences

The studentship aims to determine how dysregulation of stem cell metabolism contributes to the impairment of stem cell function and how this can be rescued using healthy allogeneic MSCs to tread chronic diseases associated with ageing. Read more

Supervisors: Dr R Oldershaw, Dr A Chadwick, Dr M Phelan, Prof R Barrett-Jolley

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

Deciphering mechanisms of immune dysfunction in immunodeficient patients with RNA Polymerase III/tRNA-related gene defects

Newcastle University

Translational and Clinical Research Institute

Gene variants that impair the development or function of T cells cause combined immunodeficiency, leaving infants and young children vulnerable to life-threatening infection. Read more

Supervisors: Prof S Hambleton, Dr K Engelhardt

1 December 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Mechanisms of viral induced polyarthritis

University of Oxford

Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology

Chikungunya (CHIK) is a mosquito-borne alphavirus that has caused major outbreaks across Africa, Asia, and South America. While the acute infection is often self-limiting, a substantial proportion of patients develop persistent, painful polyarthritis that can significantly impair quality of life. Read more

Supervisors: Prof M Coles, Prof C Buckley, Dr C Dendrou, Dr S Davidson

1 December 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

How does Wnt and Notch (Wntch) signalling coordinate cell fate assignment during gastrulation?

University of Liverpool

Institute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology

Gastrulation is a pivotal stage in development where an initially uniform mass of cells transforms into an organised structure with distinct cell types arranged along the three body axes. Read more

Supervisors: Dr D Turner, Dr D Wilkinson

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

Understanding the contribution of SHANK3 LLPS in autism and cancer

The University of Manchester

Division of Cell Matrix Biology and Regenerative Medicine

Research Group: Division of Cell Matrix Biology and Regenerative Medicine

In this exciting research project, you will investigate SHANK3, a key protein that facilitates communication and adaptation in brain cells. Read more

Supervisors: Dr TZ Zacharchenko, Dr IB Barsukov, Prof S Kimber

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

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)

[FSE PhD President's Doctoral Scholarship] Mapping the nanoscale architecture of T cell sensing

The University of Manchester

Department of Chemistry

Immune cells continuously patrol the body to maintain health. Central to this process is their ability to sense environmental cues and respond appropriately. Read more

Supervisors: Dr A Trowbridge, Dr JD Worboys

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

Regulation of apoptosis-induced compensatory cell proliferation and its implications for cancer and tissue regeneration

University of Birmingham

School of Biosciences

In multi-cellular organisms, coordinated cell death (e.g. apoptosis) and cell replacement is critical for tissue recovery in response to stress or damage. Read more

Supervisor: Dr Y Fan

EASTBIO: Cell type specific proteomics in longevity and ageing using Genetic Code Expansion technology

University of Edinburgh

School of Neurological and Cardiovascular Sciences (College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine)

The project will employ genetic code expansion technology for cell type specific proteomics in C. elegans. This organism's small size precludes tissue dissection for proteomics. Read more

Supervisors: Dr M Doitsidou, Dr S Greiss

16 November 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Give and Take: Mechano-Immunity at the Plant Cell Wall

University of Warwick

Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership

Because plants are sessile, they must rapidly perceive and respond to environmental signals. They achieve this via many receptors, co-receptors, transporters and channels for different stimuli, localised within their plasma membranes. Read more

Supervisors: Dr J McKenna, Prof V Ntoukakis

23 November 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Automating the Discovery of Optimal Conditions for Stem Cell Differentiation into Neurons

University of Sheffield

School of Biosciences

Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) are defined by their capacity for self-renewal and differentiation, making them an attractive platform for modelling human tissue formation in vitro. Read more

Supervisor: Dr A Nikolaev
