Finding each blood stem cell in its neighbourhood: machine learning to map the bone marrow niche from multiplexed imaging and single-cell proteomics

University of York

Department of Biology

Your bone marrow makes hundreds of billions of new blood cells every day. A small population of haematopoietic stem cells sustains this for life from specialised neighbourhoods, or niches, shared with stromal cells, blood vessels and maturing blood cells. Read more

Supervisors: Dr W Grey, Dr C Anene, Dr A Droop

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

Engineering Human Inner Ear Development: A Bioengineered Organoid on-Chip Platform for Hearing Research

University College London

Department of Biochemical Engineering

Why this research is important. Hearing loss is a major health challenge, yet studying human inner ear development and testing new therapies remain difficult because existing models do not fully reproduce human inner ear biology. Read more

Supervisor: Prof N Szita

EastBio - How does cell size control cell fate? - studying cell fate specification in the developing nervous system

University of Dundee

Faculty of Life Sciences

We all have started as a single cell, the egg, yet our bodies consist of hundreds of different cell types. This raises the question of how this cell type diversity is established. Read more

Supervisors: Prof J Januschke, Dr D H Murray

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

EastBio - Uncovering the non-canonical proteolytic activity of Deubiquitinating enzymes

University of Dundee

Faculty of Life Sciences

One of the key challenges in molecular biology is understanding how post-translational modifications regulate protein function. Pathogens and cancer cells are highly effective at hijacking these mechanisms to advance their own agendas. Read more

Supervisors: Dr C Maniaci, Dr P Cossar

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

Visualising How Cells Regulate Protein Synthesis During Stress

The University of Manchester

Division of Molecular and Cellular Function

Research Group: Division of Molecular and Cellular Function

How do cells decide when and how much of each protein to make? This PhD project will investigate this fundamental question by studying the integrated stress response, a pathway that allows cells to adapt when conditions change. Read more

Supervisors: Prof G D Pavitt, Prof M Ashe, Dr A Roseman

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

Stem cells, Cancer, Ageing, RNA modifications

University of Cambridge

Cambridge Stem Cell Institute

Group Leader. Dr Konstantinos Tzelepis (Tzelepis Group). Keywords. RNA biology, Epitranscriptomics, stem cells. Research Summary. Read more

Supervisor: Dr K Tzelepis

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

Developing Bio‑Inspired Adaptive Materials for Next‑Generation Neuromorphic Devices (Ref: CM/PR-SF1/2026)

Loughborough University

Department of Chemistry

This project aims to design, study, and understand materials that mimic the behaviour of biological tissues, opening the door to electronics that can learn, adapt, and process information efficiently. Read more

Supervisors: Prof P Roach, Dr E Hill

1 July 2027 PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

(BBSRC NWD) Stretch, Stiffen, React: Mapping Cellular Energy Dynamics in Response to Mechanical Signals

The University of Manchester

Division of Cell Matrix Biology and Regenerative Medicine

How do cells sense and respond to the physical forces around them? In our bodies, cells are constantly stretched, squeezed and exposed to tissue environments of different stiffness. Read more

Supervisors: Dr S Woolner, Dr J.R.D Davis, Prof O Jensen

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

Cell division in Asgard archaea

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

Complex cells likely arose from the merger of an archaeal host cell with a bacterial cell some 2 billion years ago. As a consequence, many of the most conserved features of eukaryotic cell biology have their origins in archaea. Read more

Supervisor: Dr B Baum

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

1) Drugging daily clocks in a dish / 2)Crowd Control: daily changes in neuronal function

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

Project 1. Many commonly used drugs would benefit from considering daily biological timing but mechanistic understanding of circadian medicine is limited (Cederroth et al). Read more

Supervisor: Dr J O'Neill

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

Decoding the gene regulatory switch that links blood flow to blood stem cell formation

University of Birmingham

Department of Cancer and Genomic Sciences

When the embryonic heart starts beating, the force of flowing blood does more than move cells around. It instructs the vessel wall to make blood stem cells, while telling neighbouring cells to sprout new vessels. Read more

Supervisor: Dr R Monteiro
