  PhD Studentship Opportunity in Investigation of quantum coherent transport and EM field sensitivity of ion channel transport of neuronal cells
University of Surrey Faculty of Health & Medical Sciences
  Dr K Jeevaratnam, Prof J J Mcfadden, Dr R Lewis, Prof S Silva
Application Deadline: 30 April 2019
Nerve ion channels play a crucial role in brain function as nerve firing is triggering by the opening and closing of ion channels that allow current of molecular ions to flow in and out of neurons, triggering the action potential travels along nerves.

  Ion channel gating kinetics and structure implication for drug delivery
University of Bradford Faculty of Life Sciences
  Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences
  Dr L Shang, Dr Z Hughes
Applications accepted all year round
Ion channels are proteins which sit in the membrane of every cell in the body and control the flow of positively charged ions such as sodium and potassium into and out of the cell.

  Development and characterisation of synthetic ion channel binding proteins.
University of Leeds Faculty of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: School of Biomedical Sciences
  Dr J D Lippiat, Dr D Tomlinson
Applications accepted all year round
We are developing methods to identify novel proteins, Affimers, that recognise extracellular domains of ion channels. These have applications in various aspects of biology, from tools to visualise the location and distribution of ion channels in native tissue, to novel modulators of ion channel function.

  Heme regulation of signalling at potassium channels in the cardiovascular system
University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology
  Dr N Storey, Dr N W Davies
Application Deadline: 5 May 2019
Ion channels in the smooth muscle of the cardiovascular system control blood pressure and cardiac contractility through changes in their membrane potential.

  Ion channel regulation in models of neurodegeneration
University of Reading School of Pharmacy
  Dr M Dallas, Prof G J Stephens, Dr A Bithell
Applications accepted all year round
Ion channels are important regulators of cellular physiology. There is now growing awareness that these proteins are invovled in pathological states, with relation to neurodegeneration voltage-gated potassium and voltage-gated calicum channels have been implicated.

  Ion channel clustering in neuronal membranes
University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health
  Dr S M Prince, Prof R Ford
Applications accepted all year round
The aim of the study is to investigate the organization of ion channels in the membranes of excitable cells by scaffold proteins, and to discover how the properties of the channels are modified by these interactions.

  Understanding Sperm Function required for Fertilisation Using Phenotypic Screening
University of Dundee School of Medicine
  Dr S Martins da Silva, Prof C Barratt
Application Deadline: 1 May 2019
Infertility is a global health problem, estimated to affect 1 in 7 couples (Barratt et al., 2017). It has significant impacts on those affected, and its treatment places substantial financial strain both on infertile couples and health services.

Type/Funding
  Tissue Engineering of Functional Cardiac Tissue using a Newly Characterised Cardiac Stem Cell Population
University of Liverpool Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease
  Dr R Oldershaw, Dr R Barrett-Jolley, Dr A P Meeson
Applications accepted all year round
We will develop a novel route to create and test stem cell-derived engineered cardiac tissue for use in heart infarct repair or in vitro drug screening.

Type/Funding
  The mechanism of gating and transport of pentameric Magnesium ion channels
University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health
  Dr S M Prince, Prof R Ford
Applications accepted all year round
Magnesium ions are a co-factor in many important biological processes particularly because of the requirement for Mg2+ in the hydrolysis of Adenosine tri-phosphate, the ubiquitous cellular energy source.

Type/Funding
  Electrophysiological changes in ion channels in human haploid and diploid (spermatozoa and lymphocytes) after nanoparticle exposure
University of Bradford Faculty of Life Sciences
  Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences
  Dr L Shang, Dr M H Brinkworth, Prof D Anderson
Applications accepted all year round
Nanomaterial-mediated delivery represents a promising technique for repro- and geno- toxicology with a potential to improve the safety and efficacy of existing methodologies, including experimental gene therapy and sperm-mediated gene transfer.
