Exploring chemoprevention: Investigating the impact of novel Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) on breast cells and onset of tumours using a Body-on-a-chip model

University of Bradford

Faculty of Life Sciences

Research Group: Institute of Cancer Therapeutics

Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) are a group of chemicals that can alter the normal functioning of the body’s hormonal system and can have harmful effects. Read more

Role of the extracellular matrix in skeletal muscle stem cell function

University of Sheffield

School of Biosciences

Research Group: Development, Regeneration and Neurophysiology

The regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle stem cells, also called satellite cells, is essential for muscle homeostasis and to maintain healthy muscles throughout the lifespan. Read more

Aldehyde dehydrogenase expression and function in cancer stem cells

University of Bradford

Faculty of Life Sciences

Aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) catalyse the oxidation and detoxification of reactive endogenous and exogenous aldehydes into carboxylic acids via NAD+ coupled reduction. Read more

Supervisors: Prof K Pors, Dr S Swaroop, Dr A Ruiz Estrada

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Causes of clonal expansions of blood stem cells

Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG)

CRG International PhD Programme 2027

Causes of clonal expansions of blood stem cells. During ageing, blood stem cell clones expand, increasing the risk of blood cancer and cardiovascular disease, yet most expansions lack known driver mutations. Read more

Supervisor: Dr L Velten

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

A structural biology approach to understand IMPDH2 rod-ring structures in Embryonic Stem Cells

University of Liverpool

Institute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology

IMPDH2 is a critical enzyme responsible for the rate limiting step of purine nucleotide biosynthesis. In naïve pluripotent stem cells, it forms large rod-ring structures (RRs) which are hypothesised to control the enzyme’s output when the pool of guanine nucleotides is in high demand. Read more

Supervisors: Dr D Turner, Prof D J Rigden

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

The effects of Interleukin-1 primed mesenchymal stem cells on hypoxic-ischemic brain damage

The University of Manchester

Division of Neuroscience

Research Group: Division of Neuroscience

Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide but with limited therapies, thus new therapeutic strategies are urgently needed. Read more

Supervisors: Dr E Pinteaux, Prof S Allan, Prof C J Smith

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

A role for cell competition in the elimination of aberrantly specified cells

Cardiff University

Cardiff School of Biosciences

Research Group: Molecular Biosciences

Project description. Cells in an organ take life and death decisions based on the input they receive from their immediate neighbours. Read more

Supervisors: Dr F Hamaratoglu, Dr E Piddini, Dr C Hogan

2 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Developing mitochondrial-targeted therapies for stem-cell rejuvenation

University of Birmingham

Department of Inflammation and Ageing

Can restoring mitochondrial health help ageing stem cells regain their regenerative potential?. Stem cells maintain and repair tissues throughout life, but their ability to do so declines with age. Read more

Supervisors: Dr J Romero, Dr A Naylor

23 November 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

In vitro production of platelets for transfusion

University of Cambridge

Cambridge Stem Cell Institute

Group Leader. Professor Cédric Ghevaert (Ghevaert Group). Research Summary. Hospitals are currently entirely reliant on blood donors for the red cells and platelets transfusion administered to patients who are very anaemic or at high risk of bleeding. Read more

Supervisor: Dr C Ghevaert

8 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Decoding the gene regulatory switch that links blood flow to blood stem cell formation

University of Birmingham

Department of Cancer and Genomic Sciences

When the embryonic heart starts beating, the force of flowing blood does more than move cells around. It instructs the vessel wall to make blood stem cells, while telling neighbouring cells to sprout new vessels. Read more

Supervisor: Dr R Monteiro

23 November 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Mechanisms of Cancer Stem Cell Survival, Metastasis Formation and Immune Evasion in Cancer

University of Reading

School of Pharmacy

Recent research suggests that cancer cells within a tumour represent a highly heterogeneous cell population. In particular many tumours contain small percentage of cells that share several characteristics with stem cells. Read more

Supervisor: Prof D Widera

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

UKRI BBSRC NEEDL DLA: Mechanobiology in Biomanufacturing Cell Therapies

Northumbria University

EastBio - How does cell size control cell fate? - studying cell fate specification in the developing nervous system

University of Dundee

Faculty of Life Sciences

We all have started as a single cell, the egg, yet our bodies consist of hundreds of different cell types. This raises the question of how this cell type diversity is established. Read more
