Investigating the role of Post-Translational Modifications in Mcl-1 in macrophage host defense against bacteria in chronic lung disease

University of Sheffield

School of Medicine and Population Health

Regulation of Mcl-1 in Macrophage Host Defense. This PhD project offers an opportunity to explore immunometabolism and cell signaling, focusing on how macrophages decide whether to live or die to protect the host. Read more

What is the role of steroid hormones made in the brain?

University of Reading

Department of Biomedical Sciences

Project Overview. Many behaviours differ between the sexes and this is often controlled by hormones. In our laboratory, we explore how hormones regulate behaviours that differ between the sexes. Read more

We are what we eat: Plants and their effects on the brain

University of Reading

Department of Biomedical Sciences

Project Overview. Plants synthesize many compounds that can act like hormones in mammals. A class of plant compounds called phytosteroids act like steroid hormones and may influence anxiety, reproduction and healthy aging, though the mechanisms by which these signal are poorly understood. Read more

Investigating lysosomal (dys)function in ageing and neurodegeneration

University of Reading

Department of Biomedical Sciences

Project Overview. Ageing is associated with a decline in the functions of an organism (López-Otín, C. et al. Cell, 2023) and correlates with an increased risk of developing diseases in the later life (Niccoli, T. Read more

Role of skeletal muscle stem cells in muscle aging

University of Sheffield

School of Biosciences

Research Group: Development, Regeneration and Neurophysiology

The ability of skeletal muscles to regenerate in response to injury, exercise, growth or disease depends on a population of adult skeletal muscle stem cells called satellite cells. Read more

EastBio: Structural basis of paired immune receptor activation in Arabidopsis

University of Edinburgh

School of Biological Sciences

Research Group: Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences

Deep inside every plant cell, there are molecular ‘sentinels’ called NLRs that detect invading pathogens and sound the alarm, triggering the plant's defence. Read more

Live imaging 3D signalling waves

University of Oxford

Department of Biology

Signal diffusion only goes so far. To transmit information over large distances, cells can use excitable signalling, producing waves that travel across tissues (e.g. Read more

Role of the extracellular matrix in skeletal muscle stem cell function

University of Sheffield

School of Biosciences

Research Group: Development, Regeneration and Neurophysiology

The regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle stem cells, also called satellite cells, is essential for muscle homeostasis and to maintain healthy muscles throughout the lifespan. Read more

How is genomic DNA packaged in the malaria parasite apicoplast organelle?

University of Sheffield

School of Biosciences

While it is common knowledge that DNA is the genetic material of all organisms, how this polymer, which is often 50 to 1000 times in length compared to the dimensions of the cell/nucleus, is organised to fit within a cell remains one of the major unanswered questions of cell biology. Read more

Dissecting the mechanisms by which changes in ribosome composition drive translation of non-canonical regions

University of Leeds

Yorkshire Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership

Project Description. The expression of genes to generate proteins is the foundation of life and, therefore, the regulation of protein synthesis is critical. Read more

[FSE PhD President's Doctoral Scholarship] Engineering chemical probes to sense dynamic molecular neighbourhoods in living cells

The University of Manchester

Department of Chemistry

How can we measure the fleeting molecular neighbourhoods that control signalling inside living cells?. Proximity-labelling methods provide a powerful way to address this problem by converting spatial proximity into a permanent chemical tag that can subsequently be detected by imaging or proteomics.
