Funded PhD SWBio DTP- Mechanisms and functions of lysosome positioning
Project description. Lysosomes are the main degradative organelle in the cell. They contain >60 acid-hydrolases to digest cargo delivered via membrane trafficking processes including endocytosis and autophagy. Read more
Funded PhD open to UK-domiciled, home fee applicants of Black African, Black Caribbean or other Black or mixed Black heritage - Mechanisms and functions of lysosome positioning
Lysosomes are the main degradative organelle in the cell. They contain >60 acid hydrolases to digest cargo delivered via several membrane trafficking processes including endocytosis, phagocytosis and autophagy. Read more
Precision Medicine DTP - Multi-modal single-cell analysis of human kidney tissue to identify novel anti-inflammatory therapies for kidney disease
Research Group:
Centre for Cardiovascular Science
Additional supervisor. Prof Thomas Otto (University of Glasgow). Background. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health problem; it affects ~7% of the UK population and is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and for end-stage kidney disease (ESRD), necessitating dialysis or transplantation. Read more
Elucidating novel anti-cancer drug responses in advanced ovarian cancer
Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal gynaecological malignancies, often diagnosed at advanced stages due to non-specific symptoms and a lack of early detection methods. Read more

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership - Holding on: Investigating the contribution of attached Leishmania parasite forms in human infections.
Leishmania parasites are responsible for causing a collection of devastating diseases affecting millions of people worldwide. They are spread via infected female sand flies, who feed on blood to produce eggs. Read more
Regulation of E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion by the microtubule cytoskeleton
Primary Supervisor: Dr Natalia Bulgakova. Funding: China Scholarship Council (CSC). Deadline: 29th January 2025. Project Overview. Read more
Improving the regenerative capacity of Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa skin by re-activating YAP/TAZ signalling.
This is an exciting opportunity for a 4-year DEBRA UK-funded PhD studentship within the Institute of Dentistry of Barts and The London Medical School and Dentistry at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL). Read more
Investigate the molecular mechanism controlling FEME (Fast Endophilin Mediated Endocytosis) in directed cancer cell migration using CRISPR, biochemistry, and advanced microscopy methods.
Cancer is a devastating disease. more than one in three people in the UK will develop cancer in their lifetime. Metastasis is the primary cause of cancer related deaths. Read more
Regenerative Medicine: Understanding and Improving the efficiency of Extracellular Vesicle biogenesis
Communication between individual cells is vital to coordinate overall function of the cell population. Read more

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Primary Cilia Manipulation to Combat Systemic Fibrosis
Primary cilia play a fundamental role in cell signalling, acting as sensory cellular antennae for chemical and biomechanical signals, including morphogen signalling pathways implicated in myofibroblast transition, the key driver of tissue fibrosis. Read more
Molecular mechanisms of iron related tumourigenesis and cachexia
Hamaratoglu Lab studies cell-cell signalling in development and tumourigenesis. We take advantage of outstanding genetic tools in Drosophila, and use larval imaginal discs as model epithelial organs. Read more
Investigating how cell size impacts proteome homoeostasis and cellular signalling
One of the most obvious differences between cells of different type is their size. Even within a given cell type, there are constant variations in size and, of course, a single proliferating cell will double in size every cell cycle. Read more
Investigation of antagonism of multiple RGD-binding integrins as a therapeutic strategy in advanced head and neck cancer
Research Group:
Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Background. The integrins are a family of transmembrane receptors which mediate cell-cell and cell-ECM adhesion, and signalling across the cell membrane involved in pathways controlling cell migration, proliferation, differentiation, cell survival and apoptosis. Read more
Nanoparticle synthesis and application in magnetic field hyperthermia for cancer therapy
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
Magnetic field hyperthermia (MFH) is currently undergoing clinical trials for use in humans. The research to date has shown the effectiveness of the approach in cells and animal models and the initial results from human trials are promising. Read more
