Identifying new subtype of diabetes, [Biological and Medical Sciences – PhD (Funded)
Location. RILD Building level 3, RD&E Hospital Wonford, Exeter. Read more
The Oxford Interdisciplinary Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership
The Oxford Interdisciplinary Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) programme is a 4-year DPhil*/PhD programme that aims to equip a new generation of researchers with the skills and knowledge needed to tackle the most important challenges in bioscience research. Read more
Novel single-cell omics and microfluidics approaches to tackle antimicrobial resistance, [Biosciences] – PhD (Funded)
Location. Living Systems Institute, Streatham Campus, Exeter. Read more
Structural plasticity and regeneration in the Drosophila brain
Does the brain change as we go through life and does this depend on our experiences? What is the impact in the brain of stimulation, activity, exercise… Read more
Using novel ferronucleosides to study and regulate DNA replication in cells
Background. Replication of nucleic acid polymers like DNA is an essential process for all known forms of life. Furthermore, dysregulation and errors in DNA-replication are strongly linked with human diseases including cancer, as well as the process of cellular ageing. Read more
A biologic drug blocking ROR2 for disease modification in osteoarthritis
We reported that silencing the WNT receptor ROR2 results in protection from cartilage breakdown and rapid pain relief in a murine model of osteoarthritis and in chondrogenesis in vitro and in vivo with human osteoarthritic chondrocytes (Thorup et al. Read more
Regulation of apoptosis-induced compensatory cell proliferation and its implications for cancer and tissue regeneration
In multi-cellular organisms, coordinated cell death (e.g. apoptosis) and cell replacement is critical for tissue recovery in response to stress or damage. 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
Molecular genetic characterization of Drosophila reproductive behaviours for exploitation in insect population control
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
Female reproductive behaviours in most insects profoundly change after mating leading to rejection of courting males and induction of egg laying. Read more
Epitranscriptomic mechanisms in the maternal to zygotic transition of vertebrate embryos
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
Most mRNAs contain modified nucleotides in mRNA, but we know very little about their function (Haussmann et al, 2016, Dezi et al, 2016, Roignant and Soller, 2017). Read more
Determining novel molecular regulators of necrosis controlling premature cell death
Necrosis, a form of premature cell death, is frequently caused by excessive insults such as trauma, infection and toxins. It has been implicated in many human diseases including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders and inflammatory diseases. Read more
BBSRC MIBTP - Identification of pathways deregulating neuronal ELAV/Hu RNA binding proteins and alternative splicing in neurodegeneration
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
ELAV/Hu proteins comprise a family of highly conserved neuronal RNA binding proteins important for the development of the nervous system and for neuronal functions. Read more
Development of fluorescent sensors for biological application
We are looking for a highly motivated, passionate and competitive candidate for a fully-funded PhD position in fluorescent sensing and chemical biology. Read more
The potential utility of human regulatory T cell-deriVed ExtRacellular veSicles to control inflammation in rheUmatoid arthiritiS (VERSUS)
One in every 16 of people in the UK live with an autoimmune condition causing them pain, difficulty, lost opportunities in work and in life, and in many cases placing them at risk of early death. Autoimmunity occurs when the immune system attacks the body. Read more
Primary Care projects
A choice of Primary Care projects are available. a) Exergaming. a novel approach to managing osteoarthritis of the knee. b) Impact of opioid use on adverse events in the oldest population. Read more
