Exploring the role of matrix encapsulation on early developmental decisions using non-animal sourced hydrogels
A PhD studentship in stem cell biology and disease modelling is available in Prof Merry’s group (. https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/medicine/people/cathy.merry. Read more
Mechanisms of gene regulation shared between human development and neurodegeneration
Applications are invited for a research studentship leading to the award of a PhD degree, under the supervision of Dr. Marco Trizzino, to investigate mechanisms of gene regulation shared between human development and neurodegeneration. Read more
Modelling Numerical and Abstract Cognition in Developmental Neuromorphic Robots
This scholarship will support the PhD candidate to carry out frontier research in Developmental Neurorobotics, a combination of Neuromorphic Computing and Cognitive Developmental Robotics. Read more
PhD Studentship in Psychological Medicine and Clinical Neurosciences - Investigating novel types of childhood irritability (emotional dysregulation) using a developmental and genetic approach
Project Title. Investigating novel types of childhood irritability (emotional dysregulation) using a developmental and genetic approach. Read more
The Evolutionary Developmental Genetics of Bony Fish Tooth Diversity
Project Description. Salmon, sticklebacks, cichlids, and other bony fishes exhibit incredible diversity in their teeth. Read more
Interrogating molecular switches that control developmental gene expression
The ability of cells and tissues to modulate rates of gene expression is critical for their ability to respond appropriately to cues during development, maintain normal function during ageing, and combat environmental insults and biological agents such as pathogens. Read more
The role of the spliceosome protein Prpf8 in embryonic development
Errors that occur during cardiac development cause congenital heart defects (CHD). Despite the prevalence of CHD, the developmental processes that ensure the heart forms correctly are still being elucidated. Read more
A developmental approach to the study of Mental Time Travel and counterfactual thinking—what is the link?
Applications are invited for a self-funded PhD project to investigate the relation between Mental Time Travel and counterfactual thought. Read more
Investigating face perception in developmental prosopagnosia
Developmental prosopagnosia (DP) is a neurodevelopmental condition associated with impairments recognising familiar faces and discriminating between unfamiliar faces. Read more
Defining the role of WT1 in cellular and molecular processes during gastrulation, in embryos and gastruloids
In an ageing population, injury and degenerative processes lead to increased pressure on the NHS due to demand on treatments. Read more
MSc by Research: Non-canonical functions of SRSF protein kinase (SRPK) in pluripotent stem cells
The overarching goal of our research is to identify and characterise the protein kinase signalling pathways that control stem cell pluripotency and differentiation and determine how protein kinase signalling is disrupted to cause human developmental disorders. . Read more
Developmental dynamics for Network-on-Chip systems
The Network-on-Chip (NoC) paradigm, a subject of intense research in both the academic and the industrial worlds, is based on the parallel execution of program threads on many relatively simple processing elements. Read more
BBSRC White Rose DTP Studentship - Is regeneration of an organ simply a recapitulation of its initial development?
The study of regenerative biology aims to elucidate the innate ability of organisms to replace tissues or organs after they have been removed or damaged. Read more
Hierarchical reinforcement learning
One of the most fundamental problems in artificial intelligence (AI) is how to enable autonomous development of action hierarchies, in other words, how to endow artificial agents with the ability to autonomously form useful high-level behaviours (for example, grasping) from existing behavioural units (for example, primitive sensory and motor actions available to a robot). Read more
The interplay between genetics and brain development in schizophrenia
Supervisors. Dr Michael Ashby, University of Bristol, Prof Anthony Isles, University of Cardiff, Dr Emma Cahill, University of Bristol, Prof Jonathan Mill, University of Exeter. Read more
