  Structural and Functional Characterisation of TRIM25-RNA Complex
University of Edinburgh College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine
  Research Group: Edinburgh Infectious Diseases
  Dr G Michlewski, Dr A Cook
Application Deadline: 1 February 2019
RNA viruses continue causing devastating epidemics and pandemics in the 21st century. For example, influenza A virus kills 250,000 to 500,000 people annually and generates huge socioeconomic burden.

  Roles of RNA-binding proteins in subcellular RNA localization and translation in neurons
Max Delbrueck Centrum for Molecular Medicine Medical Systems Biology
  Dr M Chekulaeva
Applications accepted all year round
The subcellular localization and translation of mRNAs are fundamental biological processes. They underlie establishment of body axis, cell growth, cell migration, and synaptic plasticity, which serves as a foundations of learning and memory.

  Regulation of mitochondrial gene expression (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
  Dr M Minczuk
Application Deadline: 30 June 2019
MRC Mitochondrial Biology Unit. The key objective of this PhD project is to study nuclear-encoded proteins involved in mitochondrial (mt-) RNA metabolism, in order to understand how their dysfunction is linked to human mitochondrial pathologies.

  Eukaryotic gene expression: understanding the role of UPF1 in global mRNA processing and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
University of Birmingham School of Biosciences
  Dr S Brogna
Applications accepted all year round
This project’s specific objective is to study the molecular role(s) that the RNA helicase UPF1 plays in RNA processing. UPF1 is a key player in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), it is universally conserved in eukaryotes and is essential to the development of many organisms [1].

  Insights into Transcription/Translation in Prostate Cancer through analyses of novel data sets
University of St Andrews School of Medicine
  Prof A Lynch
Applications accepted all year round
Approximately one in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer (PCa) in his life, while a substantially higher proportion of men would show evidence of PCa under histopathological examination.
