 Funded PhD Programme (Students Worldwide)  PhD Research Programme
More details

MSc by Research: The USP37 deubiquitylase: guardian of genome stability and a new target for anti-cancer therapy

The process of chromosome replication is defective in many cancer cells, which therefore have an increased dependency on pathways that allow cells to survive ‘DNA replication stress’. Read more

MSc by Research: Molecular mechanisms underlying aphid effector virulence activity

Pests and diseases are a major threat to food security with losses ranging between 20-40%. Aphids are one of the most devastating insect pests, globally. Read more

MSc by Research: Protein secretion landscapes in human immune cells

Roughly one third of the human genome encodes secretory and membrane proteins. Following synthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), these proteins are captured into transport vesicles for delivery within the cell. Read more

MSc by Research: Investigation of mitochondrial biology and neurodegeneration

Phosphorylation and ubiquitylation are reversible signalling events and there is significant interest in in their interplay in the regulation of normal biological processes and disruption in human diseases. Read more

MSc by Research: Molecular Glues for ALS: Restoring TDP-43 Localization for drug discovery

Proteins rarely function in isolation; instead, they form biomolecular complexes by interacting with other biomolecules, including DNA, RNA, and proteins. Read more

MSc by Research: Drugging the undruggable targets in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases

Cancer and neurodegenerative diseases are among the most challenging conditions to treat, and as life expectancy increases globally, the burden of these diseases continues to rise. Read more

MSc by Research: Computational Evolutionary Transcriptomics for Cancer Diagnostics

In this computational Master project, we will consult new transcriptomic evidence from bulk- and single cells (single-cell genomics) to test whether evolutionary information of gene birth events within the tree of life can be harnessed to inform transcriptomic signatures for cancer type diagnostics (evolutionary transcriptomics). .

MSc by Research: Functional mechanisms and inhibition of biomedically important calcium channels

Ion channels are key components in every cell, bridging cell and organellar membranes for the traversal of charged species. Calcium channels are of particular physiological importance because of the central role calcium plays in cell signalling and cell death. Read more

MSc by Research: DNA Replication Coupled Mechanisms that control cell fate transitions

DNA replication is required for successful cell fate transitions across diverse physiological, experimental, and pathological contexts, involving factors often deregulated in human cancer and intellectual disabilities. Read more

MSc by Research: Cell migration in epithelial tissues

It is an important question to answer how cells move in a crowded environment. . In this project, we’ll use the vertex model (a widely used computational framework for cell-based studies of epithelial tissue mechanics) to study motion of a small patch of motile cells in otherwise inert environment. .

MSc by Research: Immunomodulation by secreted proteins of helminth parasites

Parasitic helminths (worms) are master manipulators of the immune system. they secrete multiple proteins which interact with cells and cytokines of the immune response, inhibiting or skewing the response towards an outcome more favourable to them. Read more

MSc by Research: Optimizing plant cell wall glycan extraction to support plant health and biotechnology research

Plant cell wall glycans are a major component of plant biomass, essential for plant physiology, development, and protection against environmental stress and disease. Read more

MSc by Research: Understanding the contribution of natural variation in upstream open reading frames to plant climate adaptation

In our warming climate, understanding how plants respond to elevated temperatures is vital for breeding temperature-resilient crops. Read more

MSc by Research: Sugar ubiquitylation, a new quality control mechanism for the recognition and elimination of unbranched glycogen?

The accumulation and precipitation of unbranched glycogen in human tissues as toxic polyglucosan bodies (PB) underlies four human diseases that cause cardiomyopathy and heart failure and/or fatal neurological disorders. Read more
