  G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signalling in the mouse and human gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
University College London The London Interdisciplinary Biosciences Consortium (LIDo)
  Prof H Cox
Application Deadline: 11 January 2019
To establish the mechanisms of GPR35 signalling in the mouse and human GI tract. GPR35 is an orphan receptor that lacks an endogenous ligand but is highly expressed in mammalian GI tract, particularly in the colon and is implicated in the onset of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

  What keeps the gut stem cell niche healthy? (SOBOLEWSKIAU19SF)
University of East Anglia School of Pharmacy
  Dr A Sobolewski
Applications accepted all year round
A normal functioning epithelium is vital for a healthy gut. The epithelium forms a protective barrier between the bacteria and food contents in the intestine and the underlying immune system, so preventing an immune response.

  Investigating nerve:immune cell cross talk during gut inflammation
University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health
  Dr J Pennock, Prof A MacDonald
Applications accepted all year round
The gut contains more nerves than any other part of the body outside the brain. These nerves contribute to pain responses and essential muscle movement, but their role during inflammation is not known.

  Regulation of mTOR by pharmacological activators of transcription factor Nrf2
University of Dundee School of Medicine
  Prof A Dinkova-Kostova
Applications accepted all year round
The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a kinase, which is the core component of two protein complexes termed mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) and 2 (mTORC2), and has a fundamental role in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis.

  The relationship between dietary iron and zinc, and the gut microbiota: Can dietary iron and zinc regime be exploited to improve health?
University of Reading School of Biological Sciences
  Prof S C Andrews
Applications accepted all year round
"The gut microbiota (100 trillion cells) outnumber human cells by 10 to 1. Its composition of around 500 to 1000 species is specific for each individual and is dynamic, changing with age, health and diet.

  Investigating the role of the mechanosensor channel Piezo1 in human disease
University of Sheffield Department of Biomedical Science
  Dr K Erdmann
Application Deadline: 23 January 2019
Piezo proteins are ion channels that are gated by mechanical stimuli like stretch or shear stress. In mammalians there are two Piezo isoforms (Piezo1 and Piezo2) with largely different expression pattern.
