Structural study of spliceosomes stalled by antitumor compounds
Splicing is a critical step in gene expression, responsible for removing non-coding introns from pre-mRNA transcripts. This process can occur in alternative ways, enabling the production of multiple mRNA variants from a single gene. Read more
Deciphering the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in radiotherapy resistance for HPV+ head and neck cancers.
The human papillomavirus (HPV) is responsible for approximately 5% of all human cancer, 630,000 cases worldwide each year. HPV infection in widespread, leading to squamous cell carcinomas in the cervix, head and neck, and anogenital regions and is often treated with curative intent using radiotherapy[1]. Read more
Molecular investigation on MuvB oncogenic complexes
The cell cycle is the fundamental biological process where the cell coordinates chromosome replication and segregation with cell growth and division. Read more
(MRC DTP CASE) Developing a cortical organoid model of genetic autism to understand early brain development
Neurodevelopmental conditions including autism and ADHD affect 4-8% of the paediatric population. These conditions present in the preschool period, are highly heritable and can severely affect quality of life, academic and occupational functioning. Read more
(MRC DTP) How is the mucus barrier made? Understanding how the secretory pathway and circadian clock control mucus production and functional properties
Mucus plays a critical role in our body, protecting our mucosal surfaces from infectious agents and foreign bodies, maintaining the microbiome, and providing a key lubrication function that is important for a range of physiological processes. Read more
Engineering fluorescent proteins for live and super-resolution microscopy
Fluorescent proteins (FPs) are small (~30 kDa), genetically encodable fluorophores derived from proteins first found in nature — most famously the jellyfish GFP. Read more
Developing AI Approaches to Uncover Regulatory Protein Dynamics in DNA Replication
The project aims to develop and apply novel machine-learning, statistical and AI approaches to generate structural insight into dynamic DNA replication complexes. Read more
Dysregulation of redox signalling by pH imbalance in age-related disease
An MRC-funded PhD Studentship is available under the supervision of Dr Helena Cochemé (Redox Metabolism Group) at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS). Read more
Investigating the role of AMPK in endothelial cell function
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays an important role in maintaining energy homeostasis at both the cellular and whole body level1. Read more
The maintenance of centromeric stability
Research Group:
Genome Stability
This PhD project focuses on investigating how centromeres manage the delicate balance between beneficial and harmful DNA repair processes to maintain genomic stability. Read more
Development of Novel Miniaturized Device Technologies for Point-of-Need Diagnostics
A PhD Studentship is available for a suitably qualified candidate to conduct research leading to the award of a PhD degree in the fields of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering. Read more
A sticky situation; determining the interplay between gastric mucus and the gastric microbiota using pre-cancerous organoids
The gastrointestinal tract is lined by a layer of mucus, which serves as a barrier separating the microbiota and the underlying epithelial cell layer (Paone and Cani, 2020). Read more
The role of MicroRNAs in neurodegenerative diseases
We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in Neuroscience and Neurotrauma to join the team led by Dr Valentina Di Pietro (Dr Valentina Di Pietro - Institute of Inflammation and Ageing - University of Birmingham). Read more
Exploration of the disease sequalae of Gestational Diabetes (Part of the ELEMI Womens Health Program)
Applications are invited for a 3-year self-funded PhD Studentship. GDM is a strategically important topic for women’s health and public welfare. Read more
Exploration of Menstrual Disorders (Part of the ELEMI Womens Health Program)
Applications are invited for a 3-year self-funded PhD. Menstruation is the process in which the uterus sheds blood and tissue through the vagina. Read more
