Nuclear Myosin VI supports DNA repair and is a potential therapeutic target

University of Sheffield

School of Medicine and Population Health

This fully funded PhD project offers the opportunity to investigate how the molecular motor myosin VI (MVI) contributes to DNA repair processes and cancer therapy. Read more

Supervisors: Prof C Toseland, Dr M Newton, Prof K Pors

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Genomics and development of an exaggerated sexual trait in stalk-eyed flies

University of Sheffield

School of Biosciences

While most body parts grow in proportion to overall body size, many traits develop to become disproportionately elaborate or extended. Read more

Supervisors: Dr A Wright, Dr M Towers, Dr D Joyce, Prof A Pomiankowski

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Natural Genetic Engineering: How Horizontal Gene Transfer Drives Crop Adaptation

University of Sheffield

School of Biosciences

What if some of the genes controlling important crop traits didn't come from the crop itself?. Plants species are not as genetically isolated as we once thought. Read more

Supervisors: Dr L Dunning, Prof J Ton

How does typhoidal Salmonella remain invisible to the human immune system?

University of Sheffield

School of Biosciences

Salmonella Typhi, the causative agent of typhoid fever, infects millions worldwide by evading host immune defences. A hallmark of infection is leukopenia - a severe loss of immune cells - yet how the bacterium triggers this immune collapse has remained a mystery. Read more

Supervisors: Dr D Humphreys, Dr M Collins, Prof S El-Khamisy, Dr D Boucher
