(BBSRC DTP) Single molecule live imaging of ribosome stalling during embryonic development
The correct regulation of gene expression is critical to multicellular life. A key regulated step is mRNA translation; one regulatory mechanism is… Read more
Understanding mechanisms driving tissue morphogenesis and cell fate during early embryonic development
Research Group:
Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership (MIBTP)
Background and scientific rationale. Embryonic tissues and organs are shaped and patterned by complex genetic, molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate essential processes during development [1]. Read more
Developing novel technologies to analyse cellular differentiation processes during embryonic development in vivo and ex vivo
During embryogenesis, all cell types of the body are being established through carefully controlled differentiation processes. In mammals, one of these organ systems of central importance is the vasculature. Read more
MSc by Research: Does CDK1 regulate NICD turnover in a cell cycle dependant manner in Drosophila Melanogaster?
Notch is one of the major highly conserved signalling pathways that regulate cell-cell communication which involves gene regulation mechanisms that control multiple processes during development and adult life, including cell fate specification within progenitors. Read more
Identifying the pathways that control extra-embryonic cells
Research Group:
Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership (MIBTP)
In many animals, interactions between cells that make the animal – “embryonic progenitors”, and supporting cells that are not a part of the animal – “extra-embryonic cells”, are essential for normal embryonic development. Read more

EASTBIO: Wnt signalling regulates early human embryonic stem cell development
This fully funded, 4-year PhD project is part of a competition funded by the . BBSRC EASTBIO Doctoral Training Partnership. Read more
How to silence a chromosome: Molecular organization of epigenetic complexes that control X inactivation
In early embryonic development, XX female mammals will switch off nearly 1000 genes on one of their two X chromosomes (X chromosome inactivation, XCI) to balance gene expression with XY males. Read more
Unravelling blood stem cell formation at single cell resolution
Background. Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are generated during embryonic development and are responsible for the production and maintenance of all the blood lineages throughout adult life. Read more
Epigenetic basis of nutrition-mediated development in the honeybee
Supervisors: Dr Paul Hurd and Dr Chema Martin. Funding: China Scholarship Council (CSC). Deadline: 31st January 2023. Read more

Deciphering cell cycle dynamics in development
Development is usually viewed through the prism of patterning. At its most fundamental level this focuses on gene expression changes leading to cell fate commitments. Read more
(BBSRC DTP) Looking into the Crystal Ball: Uncovering Predictive Mechanical Cues for Cell Choices in Development and Disease
The cells and tissues of our bodies are constantly pushed and pulled and it is vital that they sense and respond to these mechanical forces appropriately to maintain normal tissue function. Read more
Climate Change effects on the developmental physiology of the small-spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula)
Project Rationale. Elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) are important components of marine ecosystems worldwide but are poorly studied compared to many teleost species. 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
Molecular mechanisms of impulse control
Supervisors: Prof Caroline Brennan, Dr Chema Martin and Dr Maxim Freydin. Funding: QMUL Principal's Studentship. Deadline: 31st January 2023. 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
