Transport of nanoparticles in ciliated systems
We are thrilled to announce up to two PhD studentship positions for highly motivated individuals. one for an experimentalist and one for a theoretical/computational researcher. Read more
Understanding of RNA pseudouridylation and its impacts in disease
RNA is often regulated by post-transcriptional modification. Mis-regulation of these modifications is associated with the onset of diseases including cancers. Read more
Leveraging AI for Forecasting Antimicrobial Resistance Cassette Kinetics in Urban Water Systems (LAMARCK-AI)
Are you interested in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and cutting-edge translational research? Do you want to learn and apply quantitative analytical skills… Read more
New enzymes for carbon capture from Loki’s Castle
Based on our previous experience, there are many reasons why this project will be highly attractive to applicants. - The research area combining the latest bioinformatics tools to develop real-life application will appeal to the most ambitious applicants. Read more
Synthetic knottins as new sources of insecticides.
This project offers a unique opportunity to work at the cutting edge of protein design, combining computational and experimental approaches to develop environmentally sustainable solutions for pest control. Read more
Single-molecule and genomic studies of DNA gyrase – a molecular machine and drug target that supercoils DNA
Do you dream of uncovering how biological molecules harness energy from ATP to power molecular processes within cells? Would you like to develop advanced… Read more
Novel biocatalysts for amide and peptide bond synthesis
Background. The industrial transformation towards sustainable chemical manufacturing, that is essentialto meet net-zero goals in the future, emphasisesthe use of eco-friendly, bio-based resources, thus minimising the need for petrochemicals and reducing carbon emissions, waste and energy requirements. Read more
Temperature-Driven Cell Fate regulation in plants
Understanding how individual cells make decisions is crucial for unravelling the mysteries of life. Multicellular organisms develop through cells receiving and interpreting signals that guide their division, differentiation, and function. Read more
Studying NAT10-mediated acetylation mechanism in ageing process using biochemical and structural investigations
Our research. Proteins and RNA are the work horses in cells. They are the products from DNA via transcription and translation. Proteins and RNA can be further modified with chemical structures to diversify their structure and functions. Read more
How does cell signalling protect and regulate cytokinesis?
Background. Cytokinesis, the physical division of one cell into two, is fundamental to life and errors can result in abnormal chromosomal numbers, developmental defects, and cancers. Read more
Deciphering the mechanisms behind the evolution of extreme nitrogen uptake in ant-farmed plants
Global food security is under threat as the population is projected to exceed 10 billion by 2050. Genetic engineering approaches to increasing nitrogen use efficiency have met limited success, partly because plants modify nitrogen uptake mechanisms in response to available nitrogen levels. Read more
Molecular profiling of Drosophila memory engrams
We are seeking a talented and enthusiastic PhD student to investigate the molecular and cellular basis of learning and memory consolidation using the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as a model. Read more
Ribosomal kinase S6 activity at the interface of plant growth and stress signalling network.
Environmental stress, even in short periods, can significantly limit plant productivity. Plants have evolved tightly regulated signalling pathways to sense and respond to changes in their growth environment. Read more
Group behaviour of juvenile and adult mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are vectors of devastating diseases that claim over a million human lives every year. However, the satisfactory understanding of mosquito behaviour is currently lacking. Read more
Investigation of genes regulating the intercalary meristem in barley
Selection of plants for increases in grain size and number is essential to feed the growing world population. These plants will also require increases in stem strength to support the increased weight of the inflorescence, particularly in wet and windy conditions. Read more
