We have 41 Cell Biology (genetic medicine) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Genetics: Investigating the functional effect of novel genes and genetic variants in malignant hyperthermia susceptibility using model systems

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is an inherited condition, where patients exposed to anaesthetic drugs are susceptible to a dramatic hyperthermic and hypermetabolic response that can contribute to a significant proportion of post-operative morbidity and deaths. Read more

Self-funded PhD- Interplay between environmental toxins and cancer predisposition

Cancer arises in part from intrinsic molecular and cellular alterations. For instance, loss of major DNA damage response genes such as BRCA1/2 has long been known to predispose individuals to multiple cancer types. Read more

Investigating monogenic disorders of the protein synthesis machinery

Translation of mRNA into proteins is a critical cellular biological process. We recently described a novel human disorder, now called Faundes-Banka Syndrome (FABAS), caused by heterozygous variants in EIF5A1 that encodes a translation factor. Read more

Clinical Gastroenterology: Investigation of Fidaxomicin Resistance Mechanisms in Clostridium difficile

Clostridium difficile is a leading pathogen in healthcare-associated diarrheal infections. C. difficile has a plastic genome with multiple mobile genetic elements and recognized capacity to acquire genes involved in resistance and virulence. Read more

NIHR GOSH BRC Translational Research (Non-Clinical) PhD Studentships

The NIHR Great Ormond Street Hospital Biomedical Research Centre (NIHR GOSH BRC) PhD Studentship Programme aims to fund five highly motivated non-clinical PhDs students to support the training and development of the next generation of translational researchers. Read more

Cancer biology: identification of new treatment options for EML4-ALK driven lung cancer through understanding mechanisms of cell division and migration.

Lung cancer is the largest cause of cancer-related deaths in the UK and worldwide. While little progress has been made in long-term survival rates, we now have a good understanding of the genetic drivers raising the prospect of earlier diagnosis and more effective treatments. Read more
