  The role of neuromuscular junction (NMJ) degeneration in age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function
University of Liverpool Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease
  Prof MJ Jackson, Prof A McArdle, Dr A Vasilaki
Applications accepted all year round
The NMJ (or motor endplate) is a highly specialised chemical synapse that transmits action potentials from motor neurons to muscle fibres.

  Linking neural development and the DNA damage response
University of Birmingham Institute of Cancer and Genomic Sciences
  Dr R Tuxworth, Prof C P Kyriacou
Application Deadline: 6 January 2019
The growth of neurons and synapses during the development is closely regulated to match pre-synaptic inputs with the requirements of post-synaptic cells.

  Developing the next generation of therapies for the childhood motor neuron disease, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)
University of Edinburgh College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine
  Research Group: The Euan MacDonald Centre for Motor Neurone disease
  Prof T Gillingwater, Prof S Parson
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a motor neuron disease caused by mutations in the SMN1 gene. Excitingly, SMA has recently moved into a therapeutic era, with an approved SMN genetargeted therapy (nusinersen/Spinraza™) that improves many aspects of disease, including motor function and survival.

  The mechanism, function, and medically-relevant dysfunction of mitochondrial complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) (On the University’s application portal, please select "PhD in Medical Science at the MRC Mitochondrial Biology Unit").
Medical Research Council (Cambridge) Mitochondrial Biology Unit
  Prof J Hirst
Application Deadline: 30 June 2019
Complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) catalyses the first step in the respiratory chain and oxidative phosphorylation. NADH oxidation and quinone reduction, coupled to proton translocation across the inner membrane.

  Development of gene therapies for muscular dystrophies
Royal Holloway, University of London School of Biological Sciences
  Dr L Popplewell
Applications accepted all year round
The activities in the Popplewell lab focus on the development of pre-clinical gene therapies for neuromuscular diseases, in particular muscular dystrophies based on gene replacement, endonuclease-mediated gene editing, antisense oligonucleotide (AO)-induced exon skipping and gene sliencing.

Type/Funding
  Therapeutic models for Spinal muscular atrophy
Royal Holloway, University of London School of Biological Sciences
  Prof R Yáñez-Muñoz
Applications accepted all year round
Our laboratory works on Gene Therapy in the Central Nervous System and Gene Repair, using novel viral vectors, gene targeting and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as core technologies.
