Relevance of G2/M DNA synthesis for genome stability and RNA Pol II transcription
RNA Pol II transcription and DNA replication are the two essential processes that use the DNA in our cells as a substrate, allowing them to express the content of their genetic information and to propagate these instructions to daughter cells. Read more
Role of the RNA Pol II subunits in transcription regulation
The RNA Pol II complex is the RNA polymerase that transcribes the genes that codify for the proteins in our body. This complex allows expressing only the functional relevant parts of the genome for each specific cell type, generating all the cells in the organism from virtually the same DNA template. Read more
Transcription factor complexes in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) is a group of blood cancers, resulting from uncontrolled cellular proliferation of cells belonging to the myeloid lineage. Read more
Structural biology: A gas channel in vitamin B6 biosynthetic enzymes
Study of gas channels in proteins. You will study gas channeling and structural dynamics in bacterial (tuberculosis), malarial, and plant enzymes involved in Vitamin B6 biosynthesis. Read more
Enzymes for Sustainable Amide Synthesis Under Aqueous Conditions for Pharmaceutical Applications
A PhD studentship is available to work on a multidisciplinary project led by Professor Andrew Carnell on the discovery and development of enzymes for application in the sustainable synthesis of amides under aqueous conditions. Read more
Decoding HIV-1: Genetic Influences on Virus Replication and Transmission
The project. Background. HIV-1 remains a significant global health challenge, with approximately 38 million people infected worldwide. Read more
(MRC DTP CASE) Lipid Nanoparticles with Multivalent and Multi-Targeting Capabilities for the Treatment of Brain Cancer
Glioblastoma, an aggressive brain tumour with a dismal prognosis, presents a significant challenge due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which limits the efficacy of conventional chemotherapy. Read more
(MRC DTP CASE) A platform for structural proteomics screening of membrane proteins
Solute carriers (SLCs) are the second largest class of membrane-embedded proteins with over 400 members organised into 66 families. Read more
(MRC DTP CASE) Drug Binding on human G-Protein Coupled Receptors under Tension-Altered Biomechanics in Diseases
Integral membrane proteins (MPs) constitute a significant part of the genome and are targets of ~30% of therapeutics. However, structural and functional understanding of these proteins often lags behind that of their soluble counterparts. Read more
(MRC DTP) Understanding the causes and consequences of heterogeneous regulation of translation elongation in disease
The interface between biochemistry and cell biology is a major scientific challenge; while we can dissect complex biological mechanisms in vitro, studying them in the physiological context of a living cell is very difficult. Read more
(MRC DTP) Determining the role of the inositol phosphatase INPP5B in adaptive immunity
The adaptive immune system is fundamentally important, protecting us from a multitude of pathogens. Read more
(MRC DTP) Understanding brain development in neurodevelopmental conditions
Children with rare conditions are 30 times more likely than the general population to be diagnosed with intellectual disability, autism and ADHD. Read more
(MRC DTP) Investigating The Role of the Glycocalyx in Immune Cell Recruitment to the Ovarian Cancer Metastatic Tumour Microenvironment
High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most prevalent and fatal form of ovarian cancer, known for its tendency to metastasize to the omentum within the peritoneal cavity. Read more
Cancer Research UK City of London Centre PhD in children and young people’s cancer 2025
The Cancer Research UK City of London (CoL) Centre is a world class hub for cancer biotherapeutics. The Centre brings together world leading cancer researchers from across four London institutions. Read more
(MRC DTP) Understand and re-programme the host unfolded protein response in Zika virus intervention
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus endemic in Africa and Asia (Petersen et al., 2016). ZIKV disease was declared a global health emergency of international concern by WHO in 2015 after its spread to the Latin America and remains a global threat since. Read more
