(MRC NW-DMS) Bacterial anti-phage defence systems as determinants of phage therapy and host immunity during respiratory 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

Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria and are being investigated as a promising alternative to antibiotics. However, bacteria carry specialised anti-phage defence systems that can block phage infection, and we still know little about how these defences influence phage therapy inside a living host.

(MRC NW-DMS) Multimodal Foundation Models Linking Multi-Organ Development and Pan-Cancer Tissue Organisation

The University of Manchester

Division of Informatics, Imaging and Data Sciences

Research Group: Division of Informatics, Imaging and Data Sciences

What if the same rules the body uses to build an organ are quietly reused by cancer? This project sets out to find out and to build the AI needed to investigate it. Read more

[FSE PhD President's Doctoral Scholarship] Synthetic Polymers to Stabilise Sensing Proteins into Membrane Nanodiscs

The University of Manchester

Department of Chemistry

Membrane proteins are essential components of cells, allowing them to sense and communicate across their outermost barrier. Ion channels translate chemical and physical signals into cellular responses and are consequently major therapeutic targets and candidates for incorporation into synthetic cells. Read more

Supervisors: Prof m Gibson, Dr CP Pliotas, Prof A Pitt, Prof EF Fullam

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

(MCRC MB-PhD) Investigating extracellular matrix stiffness as a risk factor for breast cancer

The University of Manchester

Division of Cancer Sciences

Research Group: Division of Cancer Sciences

Breast cancer (BC) is the leading cause of death for UK women under 50. Around 90% of cases are sporadic, raising questions about the aetiology of genomic damage required to initiate BC. Read more

Supervisors: Dr SH Howell, Dr A Gilmore, Dr HH Harrison, Dr H Zhou

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

Mathematical modelling of environmental information processing in hybrid aspen

University of Glasgow

College of Medical, Veterinary & Life Sciences

Understanding how plants will be affected by climate change will be crucial in forthcoming years. The complexity of this problem renders it beyond intuitive understanding, necessitating quantitative predictions using mathematical and computational modelling. Read more

Supervisors: Dr RA Antoniou-Kourounioti , Dr PS Stewart, Prof R Bhalerao

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

Understanding regulation of small RNAs and DNA methylation in plant stem cells

Cardiff University

Cardiff School of Biosciences

Research Group: Molecular Biosciences

Project description. Terrestrial life ultimately depends on plant meristems - small populations of undifferentiated stem cells that produce all major plant organs such as leaves and flowers that are critical for agriculture and food security. Read more

Supervisors: Dr S Scofield, Dr T Lechon Gomez, Dr W Dewitte

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

How Loop-Extruding SMC Complexes Navigate Chromatin

University College London

Department of Physics and Astronomy

The Project. Our group combines tool development, advanced microscopy, force spectroscopy and computer simulations to understand how individual molecular machines reorganize DNA in our cells. Read more

Supervisor: Dr MM Molodtsov

16 December 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

Creating a functional map for brain-gut signalling in a simple worm model

University of Exeter

The ability to actively locate and consume food is essential for life in many animals. Successful feeding requires sensory-neuroendocrine systems interpret to multiple cues and output coordinated behavioural sequences. Read more

Supervisor: Dr E Williams

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

Polyphenol-Mediated Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Remodelling

University of Exeter

Public Health and Sport Sciences

This project will investigate how naturally occurring compounds found in fruits such as tart cherries and blueberries influence the way skeletal muscle adapts, repairs and remodels following physiological stress. Read more

Supervisor: Dr M O'Leary

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

Understanding how Ageing and Viral Infection co-operate to cause Endothelial Dysfunction

Leeds Beckett University

Yorkshire Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership

Endothelial cells line the inner surface of blood vessels and are important in regulating various processes such as the prevention of unwanted blood clots. Read more

Supervisors: Dr J Kohli, Dr M Hindle, Dr C Duval

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

Evolvability of interactions between bacterial outer surface molecules and bacteriophages: from atoms to biofilms

University of Exeter

Bacteriophages are viruses of bacteria. they infect and often kill the bacterial cell. They play a key role in microbial communities and are an alternative to chemical antibiotics for managing microbial populations, for example in infections. Read more

Supervisor: Dr W Moebius
