Cell Biology (membrane) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 28 Cell Biology (membrane) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

How does the dynamic intra-membrane aggregation of phage lysis proteins kill bacterial pathogens?

This is an interdisciplinary project. It will provide a unique opportunity to obtain training in a wide range of interdisciplinary skills, including protein engineering techniques, protein purification, atomic force microscopy, neutron reflection and scattering as well as molecular dynamics simulations.

The INDICO-II Study – Effects of Body Composition and Dietary Improvement on Cell Membrane Dynamics and their Relationship with the Aetiology of Type II Diabetes

The InDiCo Study (Inflammation, Diets, body Composition) is a pre-clinical study conducted at the University of Worcester. The InDiCo Study is currently unravelling links between diets that favour a pro-inflammatory environment with biomarkers of cell function and body composition. Read more

Investigating the role of P2X7 receptor intracellular domains in cell signalling

Project description. P2X7 receptors are ion channels that are found on the surface of immune cells, where they respond to the binding of extracellular ATP, a damage signal released by dying cells in infection and injury. Read more

MScR: Cystic fibrosis: restoring ion transport with small molecules

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by dysfunction of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a unique ATP-binding cassette transporter that functions as an ATP-gated anion channel, playing a pivotal role in salt and water movement across epithelial tissues (1). Read more

Structural basis of two-component system signaling

Background: . As bacteria explore new habitats, go to war with competitors or collaborate against common enemies, they rely heavily on intra- and interspecies communication and precise molecular scouting of their environment. Read more

Structural-guided PROTAC targeting of BMX to modulate apoptotic sensitivity in disease

What determines at the molecular level whether a cell lives or dies? Regulation of the cellular life–death switch is essential in healthy cells for normal foetal development and for the clearance of damaged cells. Read more

The role of ubiquitin-modifying enzymes in angiogenesis

The School of Molecular & Cellular Biology invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2024/25. Read more

3D printed synthetic tissues for patterned interactions with cellular populations

Cellular communities, consisting of cells (microbial and/or eukaryotic) living and interacting in various environments, are starting to be used in applications ranging from environmental remediation, agriculture, food science, bioproduction, and biomedicine. Read more

Engineering extracellular vesicles/exosomes for the treatment of ocular disease

Extracellular vesicles, also referred to as exosomes, are membrane‐bound particles containing huge numbers of proteins as well as genetic material in the form of RNA (mRNA and miRNA). Read more
