Using genetics to investigate the effect of reproductive hormones on healthy ageing
Location. Clinical and Biomedical Sciences, St Luke’s Campus, Exeter. Project Description. Applications are invited for a 3-year fully funded PhD Studentship to commence in September 2023. Read more
PhD Studentship in quantitative genetics of neurodevelopment
The student will have the opportunity to work on a project analysing data from large-scale longitudinal and developmental cohorts with a focus on infant and child phenotypes. Read more
Biology and genetics of reproduction in filamentous fungi
Fungi have beneficial but also detrimental properties. They are used for the production of foodstuffs and valuable pharmaceuticals and enzymes. Read more
Transferability of genetic risk scores for complex human diseases across diverse population groups
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been extremely successful in identifying DNA variants that are associated with a wide range of complex human traits and common diseases. Read more
Inflorescence architecture in the laboratory and field
Plant form is shaped by both genetics and environment; changes in response to temperature can be the most dramatic of all. Many plants synchronize flowering with spring by sensing and storing an epigenetic ‘memory’ of cold, which then affects the timing, morphology and productivity of the inflorescence produced.

The genetics of human scarring – cross-cutting approaches to the understanding of human wound repair
The MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit at the University of Bristol is the leading group for the development and application of causal analysis and evidence triangulation in health research to improve lives. Read more
Like two peas in a pod: Hormonal signals in legume reproductive development
This project is part of the DPhil in Biology at the University of Oxford. Seeds and pods communicate to coordinate reproductive development from fertilisation to seed maturation. Read more
Understanding the ecological and evolutionary effects of heatwaves in tropical species and ecological communities
Heatwaves are considered one of the most threatening processes for our plants and animal species as the Earth’s climate warms. There is much to understand about how our species and the ecological communities they form will change and adapt through heatwaves. Read more
MSc By Research: Exploring the genetics and epigenetics of anxiety
Background. Anxiety disorders are becoming increasingly common, with the incidence of chronic anxiety increasing by 50% in the past 20 years, particularly among young adults. Read more
Genetics: Unravelling the Norrin/beta-catenin signaling pathway and its role in retinal angiogenesis and blindness
Our previous work on the genetic analysis of individuals with the inherited retinal disease Familial Exudative Vitreoretinopathy (FEVR), has helped identify a new angiogenesis pathway, the Norrin/beta-catenin pathway. Read more
Genetics: Investigating the molecular basis of optic nerve degeneration in glaucoma to try and develop a personalized medicine strategy for treatment
The optic nerve is a special sensory nerve that transmits visual impulses from the retina to the brain. Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) is a chronic, progressive optic neuropathy of multifactorial origin that affects 1 in 10 elderly individuals. Read more
Genetics: Investigating the functional effect of novel genes and genetic variants in malignant hyperthermia susceptibility using model systems
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is an inherited condition, where patients exposed to anaesthetic drugs are susceptible to a dramatic hyperthermic and hypermetabolic response that can contribute to a significant proportion of post-operative morbidity and deaths. Read more
Genetics: Genetic studies of developmental eye disorders to investigate genotype-phenotype correlations
Developmental eye defects that affect the front of the eye give rise to a spectrum of congenital ocular phenotypes that affect the cornea, lens, iris, trabecular meshwork or the globe itself. Read more
Cell Biology/Genetics: Identifying the mechanisms controlling HPGD expression and the functional consequences of HPGD increase
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a small lipid molecule frequently elevated during inflammation and cancer through increased synthesis by cyclo-oxygenase 2 (COX-2). Read more
PhD Student Position – Gene Regulation in Stem Cell Biology and Brain Development
The project will involve utilizing mouse models to dissect gene regulatory mechanisms that control neural stem cell development. Read more
