We have 523 Biochemistry PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Self-funded Students
Investigation of host-virus interactions
The School of Molecular and Cellular Biology invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2024/25 in the area of molecular virology. Read more
Engineering Developable Biopharmaceuticals
The School of Molecular and Cellular Biology invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2024/25. Read more
Manipulation of neuroimmune responses and behaviour by infectious agents
This project is available exclusively to self-funded students who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2023/24. The project focuses on how infectious agents modify the individuals that they infect and how neuroimmune responses to infection moderate behaviour changes in warm-blooded animals and humans. Read more
Uncovering the links between the environmental sensor, AHR, and the development of breast cancer
The School of Molecular and Cellular Biology invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2024/25. Read more
(MRC DTP) Racopathy neurodevelopmental disorders: from mechanism to treatment
RAC1 is a key cellular signalling hub, integrating signals from multiple upstream regulators and transmitting these signals to numerous downstream effectors. Read more
Analysis of pathogen determinants recognized by the hypervariable immune receptor Dscam
Background. To mount an immune response, host organisms must first recognize the pathogen with which they are infected. The first line of defense against pathogen infection in animals is provided through the innate immune response. Read more
(MRC DTP) Graphene-based Drug Delivery for Kidney Disease caused by Mutation in HNF1B
Heterozygous mutations in HNF1B are the commonest genetic cause of human kidney malformations. Moreover, postnatally, kidney tubule physiology is deficient characterised by electrolyte (Mg2+ and K+)wasting into the urine. Read more
Understanding Dietary Fibre
Dietary fibre is recognised as a critical component of a healthy diet and there is strong evidence for its role in the prevention of non-communicable disorders such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus, as well as being an essential nutrient source for a functional gut microbiome. Read more
(MRC DTP) Enhancing the power of proteomics biomarker discovery by mass spectrometry
Our ability to measure proteins as biomarkers for disease diagnosis, prediction of prognosis or to support personalised medicine is critical to modern medical research. Read more
(MRC DTP) Investigating the link between nuclear deformation and lung cancer migration and invasion
Migration and invasion are essential features of malignant cells that underlie metastatic potential. Controlling nuclear size, shape, orientation, and position along a cell’s front-rear axis is crucial for optimal directional migration and invasion. Read more
(MRC DTP) Unravelling how EDAR variants in human populations shape colorectal cancer: From development to treatment response.
Provide a short abstract of the project (for advertising purposes), 400 words maximum, plus up to 5 references (if different from ones listed previously in the Publications section). Read more
(MRC DTP) Investigation of stem cell signalling in invasive lobular breast cancer metastasis and therapy resistance
This project focuses on lobular breast cancer (LBC), a less-studied subtype of breast cancer constituting about 15% of diagnoses. Read more
(MRC DTP) Design of integrin inhibitors as small molecule modulators of fibrosis
Integrins are a family of protein receptors that play a major role in cell survival, growth and migration. Their function is to transmit signals across the cell membrane by undergoing an elegant large scale structural rearrangement. Read more
(MRC DTP) Investigating the protective properties of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors after haemorrhagic stroke
Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is a catastrophic form of stroke caused by spontaneous bleeding in the brain and is a leading global cause of adult disability. Read more
(MRC DTP) Targeting inflammasomes to reduce inflammation in Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease for which there is no cure. Inflammation is now broadly considered to contribute to the neurodegenerative process and is considered a therapeutic target (1, 2). Read more
