Biochemistry (signal) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 19 Biochemistry (signal) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Mechanisms underlying the effects of activated protein C (APC) in cardiac muscle

  Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences
APC is an anticoagulant enzyme that also exerts antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic and a variety of other cytoprotective effects in different tissues, where the mechanism of action is thought to involve the endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) and a protease activated receptor (PAR). Read more

Molecular Mechanisms of Receptor and Ion Channel Regulation in Pain and Inflammation

Are you ready to delve into the captivating world of molecular signaling and unravel the mysteries of the cardiovascular and nervous systems? We are thrilled to offer an exhilarating PhD opportunity at the forefront of scientific exploration. Read more

Is there a Role for Activated Akt in Palatogenesis?

Main Aim. The project will use a medial edge epithelial (MEE) cell line as an in vitro model. These cells will be used to investigate the effects of exogenous TGFβ-3 and activation of Akt on cell migration, epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and apoptosis. Read more

ERK5 MAPK signalling in Alzheimer’s disease

  Research Group: Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
Neurodegenerative diseases have devastating effects on individuals’ lives and our society, with no effective treatments available. Read more

MSc by Research: Non-canonical functions of SRSF protein kinase (SRPK) in pluripotent stem cells

The overarching goal of our research is to identify and characterise the protein kinase signalling pathways that control stem cell pluripotency and differentiation and determine how protein kinase signalling is disrupted to cause human developmental disorders. Read more

Developing novel targeted therapeutic approaches through induced-proximity of proteins

Protein post-translational code is at the heart of protein function and signal transduction in cells. Enzymes catalyse the addition or removal of post-translational modifications (PTM), such as phosphorylation, methylation, acetylation, and ubiquitylation, on proteins. Read more

Investigating the role of P2X7 receptor intracellular domains in cell signalling

Project description. P2X7 receptors are ion channels that are found on the surface of immune cells, where they respond to the binding of extracellular ATP, a damage signal released by dying cells in infection and injury. Read more

Plant adaptation to low oxygen conditions

In plants, cells are exposed to varying oxygen (O. 2. ) concentrations due to changes in environmental availability, metabolic activity, and organ anatomy (Weits et al., 20201; Loreti and Perata, 20202). Read more

Taking Light Induced Electron Paramagnetic Resonance In Cell for Biological Structural Determination

Studying the structure of proteins and other biological systems is an important step in understanding their function. Most structural studies are conducted in environments that are far away from native conditions, such as those found inside a cell. Read more

Systems level analysis of platelet signalling

We are interested in how intracellular signal transduction networks bring about complex biological behaviours in cells. We do this by combining computational biology with wet laboratory experimentation. Read more

Biological role of neuropeptides and their receptors

Cell signalling is critical to the co-ordination and functioning of all cells. Cell signalling allows cells to co-ordinate activities within the intracellular environment as well as ensuring cells know how to correctly respond to other cells and to an ever-changing extracellular environment as well.
