cytoskeleton PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 30 cytoskeleton PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
CSC studentship: Pulling together – Investigating the role of the apico-medial and the cortical actomyosin cytoskeleton in apical constriction
To shape tissues and organs during animal development, cells undergo complex behaviours, including cell movement and apical constriction. Read more
Funded PhD - The role of the cytoskeleton in maintaining transverse tubule integrity in cardiac myocytes
In cardiac ventricular myocytes, transverse tubules (TT) are critical to efficient excitation-contraction coupling (ECC). During ECC, TTs allow rapid propagation of electrical excitation and voltage-gated Ltype Ca2+ current (ICa) into the cell centre. Read more
Regulation of E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion by the microtubule cytoskeleton
Primary Supervisor: Dr Natalia Bulgakova. Funding: China Scholarship Council (CSC). Deadline: 29th January 2025. Project Overview. Read more
Role of kinetochore proteins in building and regenerating neural circuits
The brain is a complex network of billions of neurons structured through highly specialized compartments. dendrites that receive signals, and axons that transmit them. Read more
Understanding how tyrosine phosphatases regulate the cytoskeleton
Question. Tyrosine phosphorylation of signalling proteins at the plasma membrane controls essential actin-dependent processes in eukaryotes, including migration, adhesion, and communication. Read more
Vernos Lab: Cytoskeleton | Microtubules | Cell Division | Cancer | Aneuploidy
Apply now to boost your scientific career at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona. Read more
Making and breaking myosin filaments: How smooth muscle cells modulate their contractile behaviour.
Smooth muscle is critically important in a range of functions, from maintaining blood pressure, to squeezing food through the gut and many more. Read more
Forces in Focus: How do Actin Filament Networks Shape Cellular Mechanics? S3.5-MPS-Peters
Living cells maintain and change their shape, adhere to surfaces, spread and divide by harnessing a dynamic filamentous structure termed the cytoskeleton. Read more
MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Understanding cellular mechanisms underlying the autism spectrum-linked Neurofibromatosis type 1
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are increasingly common developmental disabilities, but they are not well understood. We therefore study the most common monogenetic disorder Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) which affects 1/2600. Read more
P1 - Exploring How Mechanobiology Drives RNA Splicing and Nuclear Dynamics
The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona, Spain, and BGI, China, are recruiting students to join the CRG-BGI Joint… Read more
University of Bath URSA project: Computational modelling of electromechanical signalling in cells for the development of electroactive cytoskeletal gels
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025. Read more
Investigate cytoskeletal networks controlling cancer cell migration at the systems level using CRISPR-Cas9, microfluidics, and advanced live cell imaging.
Cell migration is fundamental for the existence of multicellular animals, including humans, as certain cells migrate throughout the embryo to form specific tissues. Read more
Understanding KANK1 contribution to neuronal health and disease.
Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a catastrophic disease with a 100% fatality rate but is mechanistically poorly understood. Recently, αβ-integrin heterodimers have been implicated in neurodegeneration. Read more
Identifying the causes and cellular effects of Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)
A major factor in morbidity and mortality worldwide is end stage renal disease (ESRD). At least 10% of ESRD is caused by focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a form of steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome. Read more
The role of AMIGO3 in the formation and repair of myelination the central nervous system
Myelin, a fatty insulating sheath enwrapping axons in the nervous system, plays a central role in regulating the viability and activity of neural circuits, thus it is an essential factor in every aspect of healthy brain function. Read more
