EASTBIO - New tools to study plant parasite effectors at the interaction interface

Plant parasites form close associations with their host plants and deliver suites of effector molecules, including proteins, inside their host essential for infection or infestation. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr J Bos, Prof P Birch
 16 November 2026  PhD Research Project  Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

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

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
 Supervisors: Dr J Januschke, Dr D H Murray

EASTBIO - Why does the B cell antibody response wane with ageing?

B lymphocytes (B cells) are key cells of the adaptive immune system producing antibodies which bind to pathogens such as viruses and bacteria and targeting them for destruction. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr A Howden, Prof D Cantrell
 16 November 2026  PhD Research Project  Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

EASTBIO - Targeting proteasome assembly to uncover cancer vulnerabilities

Cancer cells must continually remove damaged and unwanted proteins to sustain rapid growth and survive cellular stress. This creates a strong dependence on the proteasome, the molecular machinery responsible for much of the cell’s controlled protein degradation. Read more
