AI-Driven Structural Biology for Next-Generation Therapeutics Targeting Cancer-Associated Thrombosis and Metastasis

University of Nottingham

School of Pharmacy

Cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) is a major complication in oncology, contributing to poor outcomes and increased mortality. Elevated levels of von Willebrand factor (VWF) and activation of the contact system drive both thrombus formation and metastatic progression in aggressive cancers such as pancreatic and ovarian.

Visualizing cellular control centres: Advanced imaging of centrosomes to understand disease

University of Leicester

Molecular and Cell Biology

Project. Cells rely on tiny but essential structures called centrosomes, which act as control centres to organize their internal skeleton and guide cell division. Read more

Supervisors: Dr R Mahen, Dr R Hirst

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Computational Design and Study of Peptide-Like Foldamers for Supramolecular and Medicinal Chemistry

University of Aberdeen

School of Natural and Computing Sciences

These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more

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

Structure-based design of allosteric modulators for G protein-coupled receptors using molecular modelling and pharmacology experiments

Queen’s University Belfast

School of Pharmacy

Almost all physiological processes are regulated through the activation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). It has become widely accepted that most GPCRs possess binding sites spatially distinct from their natural ligand binding site (orthosteric site), termed as allosteric sites. Read more

Towards controlling cell-state switching of neural crest differentiation states in melanoma evolution

The University of Manchester

Division of Molecular and Cellular Function

Melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, exhibits remarkable adaptability, enabling metastasis, therapy resistance, and immune evasion. Central to this adaptability is the ability of melanoma cells to transition between distinct functional states, a process rooted in mechanisms of cell fate choice. Read more
