Bioinformatics (self) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 115 Bioinformatics (self) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

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

Self-funded PhD- The genomic basis of major evolutionary transitions

Life on Earth has undergone several major evolutionary transitions that dramatically changed its biology. These include exciting innovations such as the emergence of multicellular organisms (animals, plants, fungi), the evolution of terrestrial organisms, or parasitism. Read more

Musculoskeletal Ageing and Inflammation Research

We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in musculoskeletal ageing and chronic inflammatory diseases (e.g., osteoarthritis and sarcopenia) to join the Musculoskeletal Ageing and Inflammation team led by Prof Simon Jones https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/inflammation-ageing/jones-simon.aspx. Read more

Self funded MSc by Research or PhD in Biology: The oncogenic mechanism and potential of the emergent retrovirus ALV-K in global poultry

Lead supervisor: Dr Andrew Mason. The student will be registered with the Department of Biology. Background. Avian Leukosis Viruses (ALV) are oncogenic retroviruses which cause blood cancers in chickens, impacting commercial productivity and animal welfare. Read more

Self funded MSc by research or PhD in Biology: Chemical warfare in the rhizosphere: understanding the defensive role of plant root exudates against the bacterial pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum

Lead supervisor. Dr Andrea Harper. The student will be registered with the Department of Biology. R. solanacearum is a devastating bacterial plant pathogen that has a global distribution, wide host range, and no effective control methods. Read more

Developing and Applying Semantic Representations of Scientific Knowledge

Applications are invited for a 3-year self-funded PhD Studentship. The depth, volume, and complexity of scientific knowledge is increasing beyond our abilities to meaningfully interpolate and analyse it with traditional methods. Read more

SLS SF1: Investigating the basis of invasive multi-drug resistant Salmonella Dublin

Salmonella Dublin belongs to non-typhoidal Salmonella that primarily causes self-limiting gastrointestinal illness in humans; however, it has adapted to cause invasive disease and life-threatening infections, especially in elderly people, children, and immunocompromised individuals. Read more

Data-driven optimal prediction of bacteria growth

This project is devoted to an AI-based prediction of bacteria growth and its control by antibiotics. In synthetic biology, an improved understanding of bacterial regulatory circuits is required to develop complex biological systems with functionalities beyond existing in nature [1, 2]. Read more

New Methods for modelling cofactor-dependent enzyme structure and function

Enzymes are Nature’s catalysts and many used cofactors and/or coenzymes to catalyse their reactions. While AI and homology methods now often allow the useful prediction of protein structure from amino acid sequence, this can be more challenging when the protein/enzyme contain cofactors. Read more

PhD in Women's Health Reseacrh

We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in Women’s Health led by Shakila Thangaratinam (Professor Shakila Thangaratinam - Institute of Metabolism and Systems Research - University of Birmingham). Read more

Using Brain Computer Interface to Improve Cognitive Performance

Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a non-invasive technique commonly used to measure brain activity. In this project, we aim at using EEG Biofeedback (brain-computer interface (BCI)) for improving cognitive performance (e.g. Read more

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

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

Pulling the plug on antimicrobial resistance – novel antimicrobial compounds from The Roman Baths hot spring (Bath, UK)

Applications are invited for a three-year PhD studentship. The studentship will start on 1st October 2024. Project Description. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacterial, fungal and protozoan pathogens is a globally recognised threat to the treatment of infectious diseases. Read more

UCL SECReT: The International Training Centre for Security and Crime Research Degrees

UCL's Security Science Doctoral Research Training Centre (UCL SECReT) was founded in 2009 with support from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (ESRC) and an array of public and private sector organisations working in crime reduction security and law enforcement. Read more

From bench to pre-clinical evaluation: a novel nucleic acid vaccine targeting tumour-associated antigens

Cancer and the long-term toxicities sustained from treatment remain a public health issue for adult and paediatric patients. The spread of tumour cells is believed to account for up to 90% of cancer-related morbidities. Read more

Modelling the respiratory microbiome in chronic lung disease and healthy ageing

The Respiratory Microbiome Group seeks to understand the interactions between complex communities of bacteria, fungi and viruses with the human respiratory tract in both disease (acute infections and chronic lung disease) and in health or healthy ageing. Read more
