Cell Biology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 658 Cell Biology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Synthetic organelles for biofuel biomanufacturing from waste biomass
Organelles are specialized subcellular compartments, such as mitochondria (the cell's powerhouse) and chloroplasts (which enable photosynthesis). Read more
How does cross play of DNA replication, packaging and innate immune response determine assembly efficiency of viral vectors for gene therapies?
Gene therapies are novel therapeutic approaches for rare genetic diseases. One key technology for gene therapies are engineered viral vectors, especially recombinant Adeno-associated Viruses (rAAVs). Read more
CASE Project: Modulating the ageing skin microbiome with cold atmospheric plasma
This project will be undertaken in collaboration with Frontier Therapeutics Ltd and will involve a minimum 3-month placement based at the Industry Partner's premises. Read more
A Next-Generation 3D Skin Model for Insights into Healthy Aging
This PhD project offers an exciting opportunity to work at the forefront of bioengineering and cellular biology, focusing on the creation of a cutting-edge 3D bioengineered human skin model. Read more
Understanding the interplay between endogenous endocrine signalling molecules and exogenous mimetics in normal breast and stem cells: An advanced model system approach.
The breast is a highly endocrine-responsive organ that relies on hormonal controls for its normal growth and function. Any dysregulation can lead to perturbation of breast tissue homeostasis, which could often happen due to the bioaccumulation of Endocrine Mimetics (EM) in our body. Read more
Investigating molecular determinants of cellular fate driven by air pollutants
Air pollution is a critical global issue with severe consequences for the environment, economy, and human health. 99% of the world’s population lives in areas where air pollution exceeds WHO guidelines, leading to accelerated ageing, increased mortality, and decreased health span [1,2,3]. Read more
Deciphering the molecular mechanisms of mechanosensing in stem cell homeostasis and differentiation.
Background. Stem cells have an essential role in homeostasis, repair, and regeneration of a tissue or organ. The adult skin is home to largest collection of multipotent stem cells, which are immature cells with unlimited ability to self-renew and capacity to differentiate into different skin cell lineages.

Extracellular vesicles and the microbiome: from top to bottom
The human body is host to trillions of microorganisms collectively referred to as the microbiome. A healthy microbiome is thought to be essential for human health, as disruption to the balance of the microbiome is associated with a wide range of diseases, and there are also changes associated with age.

CASE Project: Use of physiologically relevant in vitro cell models for the development of biology-driven approaches to enhance the efficacy of scalp and limb cooling technologies
This project will be undertaken in collaboration with Paxman Coolers Ltd and will involve a minimum 3-month placement based at the Industry Partner's premises. Read more
Superselective targeting of perineuronal nets in the brain
Ever wondered how our neurons maintain synaptic connections stable over time? Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are one of the key reasons. Read more

Functional Tissue Derivatives Derived from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells provide Innovative Opportunities for Stem Cell Science
Human pluripotent stem cells and their derivatives offer huge potential for basic research and strategies for regenerative medicine as a renewable resource, to replace primary donor cells. Read more
Building orthogonal ribosome control for engineering biology
Background. Genetic control challenges in both fundamental biology and biotechnology are effectively tackled by building functionally separated (orthogonal) systems within one cell. Read more

Investigating how cell size and mRNA dilution impacts the nascent proteome.
Research Group:
Institute of Quantitative Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology
Cell size is a fundamental, but poorly understood, cellular parameter. Cell size sets the scales for organelle structures, surface transport and, most crucially, biosynthetic rates. Read more
