Patterning in dynamic environments

The Francis Crick Institute
PhD Programme
A 2027 Crick PhD project with Zena Hadjivasiliou. Project background and description. A hallmark of embryo development is the generation of spatial patterns guided by morphogen gradients and gene regulatory networks (GRNs). Read more

Exploring the impact of developmental robustness on the severity of congenital defects of eye formation

The Francis Crick Institute
PhD Programme
A 2027 Crick PhD project with Stephen Wilson. Project background and description. Although abnormalities of eye formation are a major cause of blindness, the genetic and mechanistic bases of such phenotypes are poorly understood. Read more

The Evolutionary Logic of Amniogenesis - lessons from stem cell models

The Francis Crick Institute
PhD Programme
A 2027 Crick PhD project with Silvia Santos. Project background and description. The amnion is one of evolution's most transformative innovations—a protective membrane that enabled vertebrates to reproduce on land and paved the way for the extraordinary diversity of reptiles, birds and mammals.

Regulatory switching of a microtubule motor-scaffold complex

The Francis Crick Institute
PhD Programme
A 2027 Crick PhD project with Sami Chaaban. Project background and description. To divide successfully, a cell must build a highly organised microtubule structure, use it to position the division site, and then remodel it as the two daughter cells separate. Read more

The interaction of steroid hormone receptors with FOXL2 during ovary development

The Francis Crick Institute
PhD Programme
A 2027 Crick PhD project with Robin Lovell-Badge. Project background and description. Functional organ development requires the correct differentiation and spatial organisation of progenitor cells, where these can be anything from self-renewing stem cells through to committed intermediate cell types.

Cell types, connectivity, and computation: reconstructing molecularly annotated connectome of the mouse visual cortex

The Francis Crick Institute
PhD Programme
A 2027 Crick PhD project with Petr Znamenskiy. Project background and description. The Znamenskiy lab studies the organisation of neural circuits in the neocortex, aiming to explain how the computations performed by cortical circuits arise from the organisation of their connections. Read more

Germ cells in gastruloids

The Francis Crick Institute
PhD Programme
A 2027 Crick PhD project with Naomi Moris. Project background and description. Gametes (sperm and egg) originate from progenitors called ‘germ cells’ that arise early in embryo development, and are crucial for the fertility of the offspring. Read more

Computational modelling of cell morphology in the spatial organisation of cancer

The Francis Crick Institute
PhD Programme
A 2027 Crick PhD project with Josh Bull. Project background and description. The tumour microenvironment is a complex ecosystem, driven not just by the uncontrolled growth of cancerous cells, but also by their interactions with immune cells, vasculature, stroma, and the surrounding tissue architecture.
