Cell Biology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 718 Cell Biology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
MSc by Research: Regulation and mechanics in polarized trafficking
Membranes and their protein organization are a frontier in our understanding of cell biology. We focus on polarized trafficking as a model to uncover fundamental mechanisms in the organization of structures at membranes. Read more
MSc by Research: Identifying and studying interacting proteins that are “glue-able” to small molecules
Recent advances from the Ciulli Lab and others have contributed to the establishment of a transformative new modality of chemical intervention into biological system – one that moves beyond the state-of-the-art. Read more
MSc by Research: Using genome editing to study the mechanisms of immune cell proliferation and differentiation
T lymphocytes mediate long-term adaptive immunity to viruses and tumour cells. T lymphocytes recognize foreign antigens via specific interactions with the T cell receptor (TCR) that is expressed on the cell surface. Read more
Exploring the size-resolved toxicological properties of aerosols
Applications are invited for a 4 year PhD studentship starting in Autumn 2025 as part of the EPSRC CDT in Aerosol Science. Project description. Read more
Biophysics of the epithelial barrier function
The Charras lab focuses on understanding the interplay between cytoskeletal organization, intercellular adhesion and the mechanics of cells and tissues. Read more
Understanding the diversity signalling pathways in cancer-associated fibroblasts
Cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play a significant role in tumour development, maintenance, and metastasis, and are therefore an important potential target for anti-cancer therapy. Read more

EASTBIO: Investigating the role of tissue mechanics in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition
Background. During tumour progression, cancer cells undergo an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), where they leave the primary tumour and migrate, forming metastasis elsewhere in the body. Read more

EASTBIO: How did seashells get their stripes: molecular mechanisms of molluscan shell patterning
Pattern formation is crucial for the correct development of multicellular organisms. Molluscan shells have long been used as models for understanding the development of patterns in nature, however a molecular understanding of pattern formation in shells remains elusive. Read more

EASTBIO: Do you want to make new discoveries at the interface of glycosylation and respiratory virus infection?
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are ubiquitous modifications to amino acids on a protein following translation, which can vastly increase the functionality of a single gene product. Read more
