Effects of insecticides on brain activity
Project Overview. Overview . This project is an exciting new collaboration between the University of Reading and Syngenta Group, to investigate the mammalian toxicity of insecticides and understand their effects on the brain. Read more
Biosensor for Point-of-Care DNA Detection
DNA detection is needed for a range of applications including clinical diagnostics and environmental monitoring. As target DNA is often present in very low concentrations, it is typically amplified using methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) [1], before detection. Read more
Regulation of intestinal immune responses to commensal bacteria by innate lymphoid cells
Commensal bacteria present in the gastrointestinal tract provide beneficial roles for the host, such as supporting nutrient metabolism. Read more
Development of a DNA amplification-free assay for pathogen detection
Applications are invited for a funded PhD position in the School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham. The School of Chemistry is keen to achieve a gender and diversity balance across the School and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds. Read more
PhD student position: Chromatin regulators: From molecular mechanisms to targets for treatment of human diseases
We are seeking a highly motivated candidate to join our team to work on an interdisciplinary project. Read more
Exploring Synthetic Lethality Interactions through Targeting the SUMO Pathway for Therapeutic Insights
The School of Molecular and Cellular Biology invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2023/24. Read more
Possible role of mutant vimentin in cancer progression and metastasis
Background. This project will investigate the role of the cytoskeletal protein vimentin in cancer progression and metastasis using cell and molecular biology approaches. Read more
Identification of the role of small nucleolar RNAs in cartilage ageing
University of Liverpool
Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease Department of Musculoskeletal Biology
To reduce health inequities and improve the lives of older people we need to understand the ageing process at the molecular level. Read more
Clinical Gastroenterology: The regulation of GDH expression in Clostridioides difficile
Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), the most common cause of infective antibiotic-associated diarrhea in the western world, is diagnosed by a combination of tests that firstly detect the organism, then the toxins that it produces (Planche 2013). Read more
Metabolic programming: Role of micronutrient (B12) deficiency and associated epigenetic marks
The global epidemic of childhood obesity is a major public health issue. Although current adverse lifestyle (nutrition and physical inactivity) contributes to obesity, a growing body of evidence links early life nutritional adversity to the development of obesity and metabolic disorders in children. Read more
Partitioning primary and secondary changes of gene expression caused by gene mutations
Control of gene expression is a complex cell process, which involves balancing both the synthesis and the degradation of RNA and protein so as to establish optimal levels of each protein. Read more

PhD studentship - Human iPSC-derived Sensory Neurons to Interrogate the Molecular Interplay between mTORC1 and Histamine Receptors in the Progression of Neuropathic Pain
Overview. Are you interested in exploring novel strategies to alleviate pain responses in patients with chronic pain? This PhD studentship will use stem cell-derived sensory neurons to understand the relationship between mTORC1 and histamine in chronic pain. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Mind over body: the role of astrocytic Hedgehog signalling in mitochondrial dysfunction and insulin resistance
Insulin sensing in the brain regulates metabolic functions including food intake, body weight, energy expenditure, and glucose levels. Read more
Unravelling adaptive immune cell regulation by Staphylococcus aureus in chronic wounds
Unravelling adaptive immune cell regulation by Staphylococcus aureus in chronic wounds. We invite applications to join our research team and undertake a cutting-edge PhD project, funded by the British Skin Foundation. Read more
Effect of adipokines on placental function in metabolic syndrome
Maternal obesity is associated with increased risk of pregnancy-related cardio-metabolic complications such as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and preeclampsia, that increase the risk of adverse outcomes for both the mother and offspring throughout gestation, labour and even into later life.
