Understanding how keratin filaments enable cells to withstand mechanical forces

University of Sheffield

School of Biosciences

Tissues within the body are frequently exposed to mechanical forces such as stretch and compression. In proliferating epithelial tissue, cells need to be able to protect their nucleus from physical damage during tissue deformations. Read more

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

Targeting the tumour microenvironment in brain tumours, a strategy to enhance the therapeutic effect of (proton) radiotherapy

The University of Manchester

Division of Cancer Sciences

Research Group: Division of Cancer Sciences

Brain cancer (glioblastoma in adults, medulloblastoma in children) is a growing global health challenge. Radiotherapy, as part of a multimodal treatment approach, is one of the pilars of the standard of care for brain cancer. Read more

Supervisors: Prof LD Dubois, Dr M Aznar, Prof P Hamerlik

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

MRC NW-DMS DLA programme: A quantitative micro-MRI platform for validating vascularised cardiac organoids as non-animal models of heart disease

University of Liverpool

Faculty of Health and Life Sciences

Cardiac organoids are three-dimensional constructs composed of cardiomyocytes, endothelial and fibroblasts. They provide a more physiologically relevant model of the beating heart than conventional cell culture systems and can be used to study cardiac development, function and disease. Read more

Supervisors: Prof H Poptani, Dr RB Burton, Dr P Sharma

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

Precision Medicine DLA – How does genetic variation shape antiviral immunity and disease susceptibility via RNA Splicing?

University of Edinburgh

College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine

Background. Susceptibility to viral infection is shaped not only by which genes an individual carries, but by how those genes are then regulated. Read more

Supervisors: Dr R Sloan, Dr R Young

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

Precision Medicine DLA - Decoding UBC9 SUMOylation to stratify Rhabdomyosarcoma and identify precision therapeutic vulnerabilities.

University of Edinburgh

College of Science and Engineering

Additional Supervisor. Professor Stefano Gastaldello [Karolinska Institutet]. Background. Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children, with most cases occurring before age 10. Read more

Supervisors: Dr E C Calder, Prof N Carragher

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

Engineering Superselective Molecular Probes for Neuronal Glycans

University of Leeds

Yorkshire Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership

Project Description. This interdisciplinary PhD project offers an exciting opportunity for a chemistry or biochemistry graduate to apply molecular design and synthetic chemistry to a cutting-edge biological challenge. Read more

Supervisors: Prof W B Turnbull, Prof RPR Richter, Dr J Kwok

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

[FSE PhD President's Doctoral Scholarship] UTIs and the menopause

The University of Manchester

Department of Mathematics

Why does prevalence of UTIs increase so substantially during the menopause? How do the hormonal changes associated with menopause come to affect competition… Read more

Supervisors: Dr A Thompson, Dr D Gifford, Dr RT Tank, Dr E Doman

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

(MRC NW-DMS) The effects of female reproductive cycles on lung inflammation

The University of Manchester

Division of Integrative Physiology

Summary of research topic. Women spend 25% more of their life in poorer health than men. Inflammation in the lung affects women disproportionately, yet women are under-represented in research, clinical trials and current treatment strategies are not stratified by sex. Read more

Supervisors: Dr E Mann, Dr L Pearmain, Dr J Grainger

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

[FSE PhD President's Doctoral Scholarship] Molecular Quantum Sensors for High-Resolution Immunomagnetic Mapping of Cancer Cells

The University of Manchester

Department of Chemistry

How precisely can we map molecular markers on a cancer cell? This question is important because the behaviour of cancer cells depends not only on which biomarkers they express and at what levels, but also on where those molecules are located within the cells and how that changes their distribution within their local environment. Read more

Supervisors: Dr A Keerthi, Dr K Batta, Dr B Jones

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

(MRC NW-DMS) Investigating a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by defects in the protein synthesis machinery

The University of Manchester

Division of Molecular and Cellular Function

Research Group: Division of Molecular and Cellular Function

Explore human neurodevelopment while advancing modern biomedical science in this innovative PhD project. Join a dynamic interdisciplinary team investigating how rare mutations in the protein synthesis machinery cause a complex neurodevelopmental disorder. Read more

Supervisors: Prof G D Pavitt, Dr P Kasher, Prof S Banka

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

(MCRC MB-PhD) Targeting the leukaemic niche: does macrophage crosstalk sustain TP53-mutant acute erythroid leukaemia?

The University of Manchester

Division of Cancer Sciences

Research Group: Division of Cancer Sciences

Blood cancers arise from mutations in genes controlling normal stem cell development, but cancer cells do not grow in isolation — they are supported by the normal cells that surround them. Read more

Supervisors: Dr JL Loke, Prof T Somervaille, Dr SV Valletta, Dr D Wiseman

15 March 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Developing chemical probes of TFEB/TFE3 to identify their distinct roles in lysosomal gene regulation and the consequences of their inhibition.

Cardiff University

Cardiff School of Biosciences

Research Group: Neuroscience

Project description. The MiT/TFE transcription factors are master regulators of lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy. Under nutrient deprivation/cellular stress they relocalise to the nucleus, and bind CLEAR motifs to coordinate the lysosomal-autophagic gene network. Read more

Supervisors: Prof E Lloyd-Evans, Dr DM McPhail, Dr M Paradowski

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

Quantum sensing for biomedicine

University of Queensland

Quantum Biotechnology (QUBIC)

Quantum sensing is creating unprecedented new capabilities to observe biological systems. These capabilities are changing our understanding of biology across the wide range of length and timescales over which it operates, and ultimately will lead us to better understand, diagnose and treat disease.
