epigenetics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 25 epigenetics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Cancer Epigenetics project
Broad Project Summary: Cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Epigenetic changes are now recognised as a hallmark feature of cancer, but our understanding of factors that are responsible for tumour spread still remains limited. Read more
Epigenetics of early human development: From molecular mechanisms to regenerative medicine
The 46th chromosome in XX female mammals, the second X, has to be switched off. That way females equalize gene dosage of X-linked genes with XY males. Read more
mRNA epigenetics: Charaterization of a novel layer of gene regulation for essential brain functions
For over 40 years we know about modified nucleotides in mRNA, but the functions for these essential modifications are largely elusive. Read more
Granulopoiesis: chromatin topology and associated functions
Granulopoiesis, the generation of new neutrophilic granulocytes, is crucial to health. During healthy neutrophil development its nucleus goes through dramatic morphological changes, from a simple round nucleus to a multi-segmented, lobulated nucleus. Read more
Unraveling the Impact of Epigenetic and Microenvironmental Factors on Breast Cancer Development and Progression
Breast cancer is a complex disease with multifaceted aetiology, and understanding the processes that regulate disease development and progression is crucial for improving diagnostics and treatment strategies. Read more
Oxford University Medical Sciences Graduate School
Applications are invited from outstanding students for PhD and other graduate courses in Medical Sciences. Oxford continues to be rated the top University in the world in medical and health-related sciences. Read more
Advancing Drug Delivery and Gene Therapy for Regeneration and Repair of the Aging Cartilage (NDORMS-2025/12)
Drugs targeting biological drivers of aging face unique translational challenges. Read more
Flexible parametric survival models in Randomised controlled trials practice (NDORMS-2025/8)
Overall survival, disease-free survival, progression-free survival and cause-specific survival are typical primary or secondary time-to-event outcomes in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) collecting survival data. Read more
PROMIS Scale Validation in Clinical Trials of Common Musculoskeletal Injuries (NDORMS-2025/7)
Patient-reported outcomes are included in randomised clinical trials (RCTs) as primary or secondary endpoints to measure the impact of interventions and are increasingly recognised by regulators, clinicians, and patients as valuable tools that ensure comprehensive assessment. Read more
MSc (Res) project: Resolution versus persistence of fibrosis: The extracellular matrix decides (NDORMS-2025/5)
Fibrotic diseases affect multiple organ systems, increasing global morbidity and mortality1. Fibrosis is the final common pathway for a wide range of diseases affecting joint soft tissues including tendons, ligaments and synovial tissues2,3. Read more
Development of advanced in vitro models for Dupuytren’s disease (NDORMS-2025/4)
Fibrotic diseases affect multiple organ systems, increasing global morbidity and mortality1. Fibrosis is a final common pathway for a wide range of diseases affecting musculoskeletal tissues. Read more
RNA Splicing in Immune Cells: Mechanisms, Regulation, and Predictive Modelling (NDORMS-2025/3)
This DPhil project aims to elucidate the mechanisms of RNA splicing within immune cells, focusing on the computational analysis of alternative splicing events and their impact on immune homeostasis and inflammatory responses. Read more
Investigating the role of neutrophil subsets in vascular inflammation
Vascular pathologies underline devastating diseases ranging from auto-immune vasculitis to the recent COVID-19 pandemic (1). Read more
Investigating the epigenetic control of female-biased autoimmune disorders
Garvan Institute of Medical Research, University of New South Wales Sydney, Australia. Brief overview. Autoimmune disorders, including systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis, present with a strong gender bias, with 80% of all patients being women. Read more
