We have 480 Cell Biology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for European Students (exc UK)
EastBio: Antiviral defence during early development
Research Group:
Institute of Immunology & Infection Research
The major innate immune response against viruses, the type I interferon response, is inactive during the very early days of embryonic development. Read more
EastBio: Spatial regulation of mRNAs in filamentous fungi
Research Group:
Institute of Cell Biology
Filamentous fungi are critical for global nutrient cycling, and many filamentous fungi are important pathogens of plant crops, animals, and humans, affecting food security and economy, and animal and human health. Read more
EastBio: Fitting mechanistic models of gene expression to single-cell data.
Research Group:
Institute of Quantitative Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology
It is nowadays possible to measure the mRNA numbers at the single cell level genome wide. While a large amount of this data is now readily available, its analysis has lagged behind. Read more
EASTBIO Neural Coding Underlying Episodic Memory Formation, Consolidation and Retrieval
Research Group:
Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences
Our ability to form, store and retrieve episodic memories is central to our identity and facilitates informed predictions about the future. Read more
EastBio: Decoding signaling crosstalk's using microfluidics and engineered human pluripotent stem cells.
Research Group:
Institute for Regeneration and Repair
Uncovering the molecular logic allowing cells to integrate multiple signaling cues is of paramount importance to understand how cells commit to distinct functional states during embryonic development, normal tissue function, regeneration and disease. Read more
EASTBIO Exploring form & function in one of nature’s most powerful water-conservation systems
Research Group:
Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences
You will use modern techniques to study the development and/or physiology of one of the most powerful water-conserving systems in nature – the beetle cryptonephridial (or ‘buried kidney’) complex. Read more
Last chance to apply
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
EastBio: Investigating RNAi function and regulation in the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus.
Research Group:
Institute of Cell Biology
Pathogenic fungi are a growing global health threat. The human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus can cause fatal infections in people weakened immune systems, and is currently responsible for over 180,000 deaths per year, including 20% of all HIV/AIDS-related deaths. Read more
Cancer Immunology and Computational Biology PhD: Developing novel antibody-based immunotherapies for the treatment of Glioblastoma
Application Deadline: Jan 6th 2025. Project Start Date. May 1st 2025. Read more
EastBio: Phospho-regulation of microtubule-associated proteins in meiosis.
Research Group:
Institute of Cell Biology
Genes must be passed on accurately from cell to cell and from parents to children. Failure to do so can be a cause or contributing factor in human illnesses, such as cancer or reproductive problems/congenital conditions. Read more
EastBio: Dissecting the molecular mechanism of chromosome segregation in the marine plankton Diplonema papillatum.
Research Group:
Institute of Cell Biology
We are interested in discovering the fundamental principle of chromosome segregation in eukaryotes. Our focus is on the kinetochore, a highly complicated macromolecular protein machine that assembles onto centromeric DNA and interacts with spindle microtubules during mitosis and meiosis. Read more
EastBio: Defining the role of intercellular microtubule-based transport in germ cells and fertility
Research Group:
Institute of Cell Biology
Germline cells throughout metazoans are connected together in a cyst through intercellular bridges, made of microtubules and stabilized by a channel protein structure. Read more
EastBio: Decoding the Cytoskeletal Basis of Synapse Organization through Super-Resolution Microscopy.
Research Group:
Institute of Cell Biology
Synapses, micron-sized structures, enable rapid point-to-point communication between neurons and are critical to the proper functioning of the nervous system. Read more
EastBio: Defining the adaptive properties of plant light sensors through synthetic biology and computer vision methods.
Research Group:
Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences
Plants are inherently adaptable, a property that is critical for their survival. Their basic structural blueprint is genetically encoded, but their architecture can be modified in response to environmental conditions. Read more
EastBio: Investigating how cell size impacts proteome homoeostasis and cellular signaling.
Research Group:
Institute of Cell Biology
One of the most obvious differences between cells of different type is their size. Even within a given cell type, there are constant variations in size and, of course, a single proliferating cell will double in size every cell cycle. Read more
