PhD saved successfully
Elphinstone Scholarship - How does human SAF-A protein enable cell proliferation?
DNA replication and local chromatin structure are tightly correlated. However, our mechanistic understanding of the correlation is limited. Read more
Elphinstone Scholarship - Novel interventions for treatment of diabetes and heart disease
Obesity is a major risk factor for development of insulin-resistance, diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD is the most prevalent cause of mortality among patients with diabetes, due to accelerated atherosclerosis. Read more
Elphinstone Scholarship - Salmonella Toxin: A New Cancer Therapeutic Tool
The use of natural toxins to treat cancer is not a novel idea and some toxin-derived drugs like Paclitaxel are well established in the clinic and more drugs are in development. Read more
Experimental approaches to the evolution of anisogamy in a single celled alga
Research Group:
Centre for Evolutionary Biology
We are looking for a talented student to conduct their PhD on the evolutionary biology of anisogamy. Anisogamy is the difference in size between male and female gametes and is the driver of sexual selection and the evolution of the sexes. Read more
PhD Student in 3D skin proteomics
The Dengjel Lab at the Dept. of Biology, University of Fribourg (. www.unifr.ch/bio/en/research/biochemistry/dengjel.html. ) is interested in skin biology and wound healing (1-2). Read more
Understanding the link between SGLT2i’s and skeletal muscle health
Sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have provided a step change in the way in which we treat and manage those with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) through their role in the manipulation of glucose reabsorption. Read more
mRNA epigenetics: Charaterization of a novel layer of gene regulation for essential brain functions
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
For over 40 years we know about modified nucleotides in mRNA, but the functions for these essential modifications are largely elusive. Read more
Understanding fundamental aspects of viral capsid maturation in enteroviruses
Enteroviruses are responsible for a wide variety of diseases ranging from paralysis and death (e.g. poliovirus) to the common cold. Read more
Molecular modelling and analysis of plasma cell cancers
Plasma cell neoplasms, including multiple myeloma, are cancers of the immune system that remain largely incurable despite major advances in therapy. Read more
Epigenetic regulation of skin wound healing
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
Skin in the largest organ in the human body consisting of epidermis, dermis and subcutis. It also contains epithelial appendages, including hair follicles and sweat glands. Read more
Myotoxic profiles of invertebrate venoms
We are looking to recruit an excellent student for this 4-year fully funded Medical Research Council PhD studentship to investigate the impacts of selective invertebrate venoms on the modulation of skeletal muscle architecture and function. Read more
Investigating Novel Cell Therapies for Biliary Atresia
Biliary atresia (BA) is a rare medical condition, occurring in small infants, in which the bile ducts outside and inside the liver become scarred and blocked. Read more

Metabolomic profiling of neurodevelopmental programs in healthy brain which promote cancerous growth
This fully funded 4-year PhD studentship is available in the School of Medicine, University of Nottingham. It is jointly funded by BBSRC through the Nottingham BBSRC Doctoral Training Programme, and by the Sam White Legacy, a charity which supports childhood and young adult brain tumour research. Read more
Mechanisms for accumulating senescent cells in ageing and cancer
The cells that perform most functions in organs are epithelial and can turnover at high rates. We discovered a process that drives most epithelial cell death termed ‘epithelial cell extrusion’. Read more
Systems Biology of Cellular Stress Response
Our cells are exposed to a large number of chemicals such as food additives, water contaminants and pollution in the air etc. Exposure to many of these leads to toxic effect and in some cases cancer and other diseases. Read more
