Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance of Responses to Environmental Stress (TAYLORR_UBIO25ARIES)
Background. Natural environments are changing rapidly due to anthropogenic climate change. How populations respond to these changes determines whether they adapt to more stressful environments via plasticity and/or evolution, or whether they become extinct. Read more
Funded PhD - Small yet powerful: how miRNAs fuel resilience to stress
Summary of the project. Anxiety disorders are complex mental health illnesses driven by multiple genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. Read more
Funded PhD open to UK-domiciled, home fee applicants of Black African, Black Caribbean or other Black or mixed Black heritage - Regulation of stress response by astrocytes
Short summary of the project. Exposure to chronically stressful situations is a major risk factor for clinically diagnosed depression. Read more
Brainstem circuits in stress-induced changes to behaviour and physiology
A key function of the brain is to constantly monitor our environment – both our surroundings as well as our internal state. As an example, as we eat our stomach distends. Read more
Physical activity as a method to ameliorate the effects of early life stress on mental health and wellbeing outcomes in adulthood (Aston University)
This is an opportunity to study a fully-funded PhD in both Australia and the UK, and to work with internationally recognised researchers in child health and neurodevelopment. Read more
Autonomous biomanufacturing platforms for sustainable biomanufacturing
Engineering microbial cell factories using synthetic biology enables the production of new therapeutics or sustainable routes to the manufacture of high value chemicals from agricultural by-products. Read more
Defects in protein methylation in familial ALS: a therapeutic target of broad relevance?
Motor Neuron Disease (MND) is a devastating condition with no cure and very little in the way of treatments available. Read more
Identification and structural analysis of transient interactions in supra-molecular complexes involved in protein synthesis
The aim of this project is to understand the dynamic interactions in the mechanism and control of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells at the molecular level using hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS), and particularly the role of the eukaryotic translation initiation factors eIF2, eIF5 and eIF2B[1,2]. Read more
The role of Reactive Sulfur Species in Ageing and Disease
Oxidative stress (OS) is a major driver of cellular dysfunction in ageing and disease. Read more
Chaperones and the response to protein misfolding stress
Misfolded proteins are usually refolded to their functional conformations or degraded by quality control mechanisms. When misfolded proteins evade quality control, they form aggregates that are sequestered to specific sites within cells. Read more
The cellular response to stress: roles in disease and ageing
All living organisms need to adapt to their environment in order to survive and reproduce. They must respond to many stresses including altered oxygen levels, heat or cold, irradiation, infection and injury. Read more
Cellular actions of neurosteroids: implications for post-traumatic stress disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a highly debilitating psychiatric disorder that can arise following exposure to at least one traumatic event. Read more
Harnessing mechanotransduction using magnetic nanoactuators to elicit cellular responses
Remote control of cellular responses based on mechanotransduction is a research field rapidly expanding both in basic research and clinical applications. Read more
Regulation of RNA:DNA hybrid metabolism for genome stability
Proper regulation of RNA:DNA hybrids such as misincorporated ribonucleotides and R-loops is important for genome stability and healthy development. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme - EpiPlasticity: exploring the ecological and evolutionary significance of epigenetic defence plasticity
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
