PhD Student Position – Gene Regulation in Stem Cell Biology and Brain Development
A PhD student position is available for highly motivated individuals with an interest in studying stem cell biology and brain development using a combination of molecular, cellular, genetic, and bioinformatics approaches. Read more
The role of neural stem cells and new neurons in regulating energy homeostasis
The project combines molecular biology and neuroscience to investigate the role of neural stem cells and new neurons in regulation of body weight. Read more
Dynamic cell fate decisions: linking mechanical signals and protein expression dynamics in the developing eye to understand human developmental disorders
Inherited developmental disorders account for much of childhood visual impairment. Development of the eye requires cell fate decisions that balance stem cell proliferation and differentiation. Read more

Identifying mechanisms of cell extrusions during tissue development
Tissues are shaped by complex cellular processes including cell divisions, extrusions, movements, shape changes and differentiation. Read more
A10 dopamine neurons: the missing link in cell therapeutics for Parkinson's disease?
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease and degeneration of the nigral dopamine neurons is a key pathological feature of the condition. Read more
Stem Cell Exosomes - Important communicators with therapeutic potential on the dental pulp
The regenerative potential of mesenchymal stem cells has recently been attributed to exosomes, defined as extracellular vesicles of endocytic origin. Read more
A role for cholesterol metabolism in neurodevelopmental disorder
Microdeletions and duplications of the chromosome 15q11.2 region have been identified as a high penetrant risk copy number variance (CNV) to autism and schizophrenia. CYFIP1 (Cytoplasmic FMR1-interacting protein 1) is generally believed to be the causal risk gene in this CNV. Read more
Growth factor isoforms in neural and pancreatic beta cell differentiation
Disorders in which specific cells malfunction and degenerate, such as diabetes and neurodegenerative disease, are a huge unmet health need for which there are currently no curative treatments. Read more
MSc by Research: Monitoring and manipulating kinase activity in stem cells
Posttranslational modifications of proteins are important regulatory events that impact most if not all physiological functions of cells. Read more
Identification of novel cortical interneuron regulators implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders
Despite representing only ~20% of the entire neuronal population in the neocortex, the GABAergic (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) inhibitory interneurons play a pivotal role in most cortical functions. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Towards a model of cerebroventricular development using induced pluripotent stem cell derived organoids
Preterm infants, born at under 32-weeks gestation, are at risk of long-term neurodevelopmental impairment including cerebral palsy and compromised cortical development. Read more
Exploring the Molecular Mechanism of Novel Mitochondrial Neurotoxins identified through a Machine Learning Approach
Mitochondrial inhibition is an important ‘OFF-target’ mechanism of drug-induced toxicity in the clinic, contributing to drug attrition in clinical trials and drug withdrawal following approval because of severe adverse events 1. Read more
Self funded BMS Project: Neuronal-Src kinases: oncogenes in brain development?
Applications accepted for PhD Only. The challenges of the developing human brain include co-ordinating the birth and migration of 100 billion neurons and the formation of their 1000 trillion synaptic connections. Read more
