Epitranscriptomic mechanisms in the maternal to zygotic transition of vertebrate embryos
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
Most mRNAs contain modified nucleotides in mRNA, but we know very little about their function (Haussmann et al, 2016, Dezi et al, 2016, Roignant and Soller, 2017). Read more
Artificial Intelligence Enabled IVF
Background of Scholarship. Applications are invited for a PhD scholarship opportunity on exploring ways to improve in-vitro fertilization (IVF) through a combination of computer vision-based and machine learning techniques. Read more
MSc by Research: Investigation of the interplay between the cell cycle and Notch intracellular domain levels in presomitic mesoderm cells in somitogenesis
One of the key processes in embryo development is somitogenesis. This is the formation of segments, known as somites, that go on to develop into bone and skeletal muscle. 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
Effects of low levels of CO on cellular function and development
We are looking for a PhD candidate to work on an exciting project to study the effect on a toxic gas, carbon monoxide, on living organisms. Read more
Gene regulation in early vertebrate development
A PhD studentship is available to work in the laboratory of Dr. Fiona Wardle (www.kcl.ac.uk/research/profile/wardle-group) in the Randall Centre for Cell and Molecular Biophysics, King’s College London. Read more
Using markers of gene evolutionary age to identify function within gene regulatory networks related to embryo implantation
Healthy ageing starts from conception. Environmental influences during early development affect the risk of developing chronic diseases in later life and impact a healthy ageing trajectory. Read more
Understanding gene regulation by HDAC1 complexes in development and cancer
Packaging DNA into nucleosomes helps protect the long fragile genomes of eukaryotic species. However, in doing so it becomes an ever-present physical barrier to the machinery required for its replication, repair and transcription. Read more
Providing insights into the molecular understanding of heart development and the formation of congenital heart defects.
Our research aim is to understand how the heart develops and then how it goes wrong to give rise to congenital heart defects (CHDs). Read more
Robustness of the molecular programme that drives cellular differentiation during embryonic blood cell development
Our body consists of numerous cell types that all fulfil very specific functions. Cellular differentiation is the process by which these cells arise from immature precursor cells during embryogenesis. Read more
MSc by Research: Mechanisms controlling cell ingression through the primitive streak during gastrulation in chick embryos
We investigate the how the key cell behaviours that mediate gastrulation in the early chick embryo. The chick embryo is a model for amniote development including humans. Read more
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
Long noncoding RNA control of Drosophila Hox gene expression
Variation in gene regulation between animals often explains differences between species and individuals, and perturbed gene expression frequently underlies disease states. Read more
The role of the immune system in women’s reproductive health
The human endometrium is a highly dynamic tissue that rapidly regenerates over approximately 20 days and differentiates to form a uterus lining receptive to embryo implantation, further transforming into decidua to support embryonic development, or breaking down before regenerating a few days later.
