Cardiovascular development: Understanding how biomechanical forces regulate heart valve morphogenesis in the embryo

Monash University

Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences

Research Group: Chow Group

The Project. In the developing embryo, the heart begins as a simple, straight tube that pumps blood inefficiently. As the embryo grows, the heart twists and grows and morphs into a four-chambered organ with intricate cardiac structures. Read more

Supervisor: Dr R Chow

Structural and mechanistic studies of fibroblast growth factor receptor signalling

University of Leeds

Faculty of Biological Sciences

Research Group: Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology

We have identified a previously undiscovered ‘signal switching’ mechanism used by a branch of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family – fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) – that are important in early development but also oncogenic in a range of cancers. Read more

Supervisors: Prof A.L. Breeze, Prof F. Sobott

How can DNA condensate despite its negative charge? Implications in genome regulation, antibiotic resistance and gene therapy

University of York

School of Physics, Engineering and Technology

Research Group: Physics of Life

DNA molecules, being highly negatively charged, naturally repel each other. However, in the presence of multivalent ions or specific proteins, they can overcome this repulsion and condense into compact structures. Read more

Supervisor: Dr AN Noy

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

Genome control by cohesin ligands

University of Leicester

Molecular and Cell Biology

Second Supervisor. Professor Peijun Zhang, Nuffield Department of Medicine University of Oxford. The human genome is metres long but packed into cells only a few micrometres in diameter. Read more

Supervisor: Prof D Panne

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

Anticipating the impacts of extreme weather on biodiversity

University of Reading

Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Project Overview. To date, efforts to address the impacts of climate change on biodiversity have focused on gradual shifts in species’ abundance and distribution. Read more

Molecular Mechanisms of Insect Olfaction Toward Sesquiterpenoid Stereoisomers

Macquarie University

Faculty of Science and Engineering

How do insects distinguish between mirror-image molecules, and why can a subtle change in stereochemistry transform a strong attractant into a compound that elicits no response? This PhD project explores the molecular mechanisms that drive insect recognition of sesquiterpenoid stereoisomers, a class of compounds commonly involved in true bug pheromone communication. Read more

Supervisor: Dr SJP Park

Defining the impact of chromatin and transcriptional regulator-driven phase separation in cancer cell behaviour.

The University of Manchester

Division of Molecular and Cellular Function

Oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) is a deadly disease with poor survival statistics, is one of the highest incidence cancer types and is growing in prevalence, particularly in the developing world. Read more

Supervisors: Prof A Sharrocks, Dr I Iqbal

Accessing New Chemistries: Tuning Reactivity Of Chemical Processes Using Ionic Liquids And Deep Eutectic Solvents (Ref: CG-AC-2524)

Loughborough University

Department of Chemical Engineering

Ionic solvents are known to alter the outcomes of chemical processes by influencing their mechanism. Because of the wide variety of different ions that might make up an ionic solvent, there is enormous scope for tuning these processes. Read more

Supervisor: Prof A Croft

3 August 2026 PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Access-Controlled Oxidation: Understanding the role of structure in protein damage (Ref: CG-AC-2526)

Loughborough University

Department of Chemical Engineering

Protein oxidation is a major marker of protein damage in aging and disease processes, and can occur through a number of routes. One poorly understood contributing element is how protein structure, including local structure, controls the outcomes of oxidation events in the body. Read more

Supervisors: Prof A Croft, Prof MJ Davies

3 August 2026 PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Beyond normal - Proteins in Alien Environments (Ref: CG-AC-2525)

Loughborough University

Department of Chemical Engineering

What would happen if the liquid enabling life were not water, but a class of molecules with a similar melting range known as 'ionic liquids'? Ionic liquids are, simply, liquids made of ions usually defined as having melting temperatures below 100C, for which there are millions of possible options. Read more

Data-driven Approaches to Viscoelastic Flow Control

The University of Manchester

Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

Many liquids in industry and biology are viscoelastic (like paints, blood, saliva, and DNA suspensions among many others), displaying a mixture of both viscous and elastic properties. Read more

AI Based Prediction of Splice Site Selection (WUT_U26CMP)

University of East Anglia

School of Computing Sciences

The central dogma of molecular biology describes the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA and ultimately to protein. Read more

Supervisor: Dr T Wu

18 June 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

We are what we eat: Plants and their effects on the brain

University of Reading

Department of Biomedical Sciences

Project Overview. Plants synthesize many compounds that can act like hormones in mammals. A class of plant compounds called phytosteroids act like steroid hormones and may influence anxiety, reproduction and healthy aging, though the mechanisms by which these signal are poorly understood.
