Developing therapies targeting inflammation and dysfunctional matrix biology in neurological and ocular disease
We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in inflammation and matrix biology in the eye and brain to join our team co-led by Dr Lisa Hill https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/clinical-sciences/hill-lisa.aspx and Dr Hannah Botfield https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/inflammation-ageing/botfield-hannah.aspx.

Molecular mechanisms of brain plasticity, degeneration and regeneration
The aim of the project is to discover and test candidate molecular mechanisms underlying structural brain plasticity, degeneration and regeneration. 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
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as model systems to study hematological malignancies
Applications are invited for a 4-year self-funded PhD Studentship starting all year round. Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a type of blood cancer originating at the level of haematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) and often progress to acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Read more
Defining targeting vulnerabilities in breast cancer stem cells
Applications are invited for a 4-year self-funded PhD Studentship starting all year round. Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer worldwide and remains a leading cause of death in females. Read more
Understanding developmental trajectories underlying the effects of early life stress on neurodevelopment and function
Early Life Stress (ELS) profoundly affects the brain and is a risk factor for the development of psychiatric disorders, which often develop in later life. 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
Dissecting mechanisms that control adult stem cells in health, disease, and ageing
Research interests/description of main research theme. Read more
Investigating novel modulators of cell signalling and motility
We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in cell signalling and motility led by Dr Vicki Smith at the University of Birmingham. 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
Neural basis of Decision-Making
Every day, we face conflicting situations requiring us to prioritise one goal over others. Choosing the most optimal action is crucial for survival and can be impaired in neurological disorders such as depression and schizophrenia. 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
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
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
mRNA epigenetics: Charaterization of a novel layer of gene regulation for essential brain functions
For over 40 years we know about modified nucleotides in mRNA, but the functions for these essential modifications are largely elusive. Read more
