Defining the Cellular Mechanisms of Resilience During Skeletal Muscle Recovery

University of Leicester

College of Life Sciences

Skeletal muscle possesses the capacity to recover from inflammatory, mechanical and metabolic stress. This resilience enables restoration of tissue homeostasis following injury and is fundamental to maintaining function throughout life. Read more

Supervisors: Dr LAB Baker, Prof D Jones

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

Molecular mechanisms of RNA–Protein interactions and their dysregulation in human disease

King’s College London

Randall Centre for Cell and Molecular Biophysics

Project Summary. Cells employ RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) to control gene expression during development and stress. Many of these proteins contain intrinsically disordered regions and undergo dynamic regulation through post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation. Read more

Regulation of chromatin organisation by cytoskeleton regulators in non-small cell lung cancer

The University of Manchester

Division of Molecular and Cellular Function

Overview. This project will explore recently discovered mechano-sensitive cancer cell signalling pathways and seeks to understand the mechanisms by which force is transmitted from the tumour microenvironment into the nucleus to control tumour growth. Read more

Supervisors: Dr AB Byron, Prof A Malliri, Dr S Knight

EASTBIO (CASE): Computational Genetics and Advanced Statistical Analysis of Noise Fear in Pet Dogs

University of Edinburgh

Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies (College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine)

Dogs have better hearing than humans and are very sensitive to noise. Fear of loud noises, including fireworks, is known to affect a large proportion of pet dogs and is detrimental to dog welfare, leading to responses such as trembling, panting and hiding. Read more

Supervisors: Dr P Wiener, Dr KP McPeake

Does transcription speed decide if a gene gets silenced? Structural biology meets functional genomics

University of Leicester

College of Life Sciences

Research Group: Molecular & Cell Biology

How does a cell decide whether a gene stays switched on or is silenced into heterochromatin? This project tests whether the speed at which RNA polymerase II travels along DNA is not merely a consequence of gene activity, but an instructive signal that determines it. Read more

Supervisors: Dr T Schalch, Dr MT Tellier
