Epigenetics of early human development: From molecular mechanisms to regenerative medicine
Secondary supervisor: Dr Andrew Nelson, School of Life Sciences / Cell and Developmental Biology Cluster, University of Warwick. Read more
Understanding centriole assembly in diverse human cells using advanced imaging and genomics
Centrioles are microtubule-based structures that form two different important cellular organelles. centrosomes and cilia. Centrosomes organise the microtubule cytoskeleton, and consequently have critical roles in cell division and cell polarity. Read more
Epigenetic regulation of cell fate by non-canonical histone deacetylases
We are looking for a PhD candidate to study the role of non-canonical histone deacetylases in the regulation of cell fate. Read more
The genetic and developmental control of complex nanostructure formation in butterfly wing scales
Butterfly wings are natural wonders, covered in colourful scales that are used for signaling, thermoregulation and to help with aerodynamic performance. Read more
Signalling complexes and cell wall changes during plant reproduction
We are looking for a student interested in plant developmental, molecular and cell biology to join a vibrant and supportive group of researchers (jointly headed by Lisa Smith, Sam Amsbury and Andrew Fleming), providing an excellent collaborative environment for your PhD at the University of Sheffield. Read more
Regulation of regeneration by TGFbeta and SFKs
Aquatic vertebrates such as amphibians and fish are able to regenerate complex structures including limb, tail, spinal cord, retina and heart. Read more
Biological drivers of health inequalities: impact of diet on the gut microbiome in preschool children.
In Sheffield there is a 15-year gap in the onset of chronic health conditions between the most and least affluent areas of the city. This is related to poverty and inequality resulting in food insecurity. Read more
Using Artificial Intelligence to Reveal the Signature of Development in Organismal Colour Pattern Designs
Background. Animal colour patterns arise as a result of developmental processes governing the distribution, differentiation and interaction of colour producing pigments and structures on the surface of an organism. Read more
Deciphering the role of biomechanical cues in embryonic cell fate decisions using human pluripotent stem cells
The structures that make up the human body trunk, such as the spinal cord and the vertebral column are produced during embryonic development by populations of stem cell-like progenitors (known as neuromesodermal progenitors or NMPs), which are located at the posterior of the embryo. Read more
Role of cholesterol and cholesterol metabolites in brain development
Cholesterol is known to be vital in the developing brain, both as a membrane component and signalling molecule. It is a major constituent of myelin, is needed to form synapses, and is critical for signalling via Sonic Hedgehog, which controls how, where and when different parts of the brain are formed. Read more
Functional analysis of novel transcriptional regulators in plant stem cell gene regulatory networks
Terrestrial life ultimately depends on plant meristems -small populations of undifferentiated stem cells that produce all major plant organs such as leaves and flowers that are critical for agriculture and food security. Read more
Using imaging spectroscopy to measure individual differences in facial expressivity in human and non-human primates
Project ID. HI_4. Theme. Health Innovation. Humans have evolved the most expressive faces of all mammals, with facial musculature capable of a wide range of subtle and complex movement (Waller et al., 2020). Read more
Regulation of RNA:DNA hybrid metabolism for genome stability
Proper regulation of RNA:DNA hybrids such as misincorporated ribonucleotides and R-loops is important for genome stability and healthy development. Read more
Identifying the role of epigenetics in the origins of seed plant reproduction
Agriculture depends on the successful production of seeds by plants. Read more
Funded PhD SWBio DTP- Younger, happier and more productive plants: using developmental genetics to improve herb yields and quality
If you’ve ever grown coriander at home, you’ll have noticed that once the plant flowers it no longer produces leaves that can be used for seasoning. Read more
