Precision Medicine DLA – Mapping gamma delta T cells in colonic pre-malignancies

University of Glasgow

College of Medical, Veterinary & Life Sciences

Research Group: Institute of Cancer Sciences

Colorectal cancer (CRC) develops through a well-characterised adenoma-carcinoma sequence, yet the immunological events governing early malignant transformation remain poorly understood. Read more

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

Precision Medicine DLA – Towards personalised diagnostic biomarkers for chronic pain

University of Glasgow

College of Medical, Veterinary & Life Sciences

Research Group: Institute of Infection, Immunity & Inflammation

Chronic pain impacts over 28 million people in the UK, yet therapeutic progress remains hampered by treating chronic pain as a single condition rather than distinct mechanistic sub-types. Read more

Designing peptides to uncover cancer vulnerabilities at telomeres

MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS)

Postgraduate Studies

How do cells copy chromosome ends whose protection depends on restricting access to DNA? Telomeres are protected by shelterin, a protein complex that prevents chromosome ends from being mistaken for broken DNA. Read more

Supervisors: Prof C Speck, Dr A Barnard, Dr A Barr

18 November 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Last chance to apply

How to find and design bioactive peptides at scale?

MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS)

Postgraduate Studies

Plants evolved thousands of cyclic peptides to protect themselves against pests and pathogens. Many of these molecules evolved to be orally active. Read more

Supervisors: Dr K Sarkisyan, Prof D Craik, Dr A Brown

18 November 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Last chance to apply

Reading tissue history and exposures using spatial single-cell genomics

MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS)

Postgraduate Studies

Every cell carries a record of its past. Somatic mutations and DNA methylation changes accumulate as cells divide and as tissues encounter chemicals in the environment, leaving marks that reveal how tissues are built, maintained, and damaged [1,2,3]. Read more

Supervisors: Dr A Russell, Dr T Coorens

18 November 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Last chance to apply

Pluripotency-specific regulation of transposable elements in mammalian development

MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS)

Postgraduate Studies

In early development, a single fertilized zygote proceeds through a series of cleavage steps to develop into a multicellular blastocyst. Read more

Supervisors: Dr M Percharde, Dr V Azuara

18 November 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Last chance to apply

Fuelling proliferation: how transporters control metabolism in development and cancer

MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS)

Postgraduate Studies

Many cancers lose their differentiated identity and revert to a stem cell-like state. This project asks whether they do so in part by reactivating the metabolic programmes that drive growth in early development, and whether membrane transporters are important regulators of this. Read more

Supervisors: Dr L Fets, Dr M Percharde

18 November 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
