We have 62 Cell Biology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Dundee
MSc by Research: Investigation of coordination of cell divisions during early embryonic development
Gastrulation is an essential process in early development, during which the forming ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm take up their correct positions in the embryo. Read more
MSc by Research: Using genome editing to study the mechanisms of immune cell proliferation and differentiation
T lymphocytes mediate long-term adaptive immunity to viruses and tumour cells. T lymphocytes recognize foreign antigens via specific interactions with the T cell receptor (TCR) that is expressed on the cell surface. Read more
MSc by Research: Regulation and mechanics in polarized trafficking
Membranes and their protein organization are a frontier in our understanding of cell biology. We focus on polarized trafficking as a model to uncover fundamental mechanisms in the organization of structures at membranes. Read more
Beyond Lysine: Exploring the Functional Consequences of Non-Canonical Ubiquitination in Health and Disease
Ubiquitination is a fundamental post-translational modification (PTM) crucial for a wide range of cellular processes, including protein degradation, localization, quality control, DNA repair, cell signalling, and immune responses. Read more
Identifying therapeutically-targetable mechanisms of PIK3CA mutant-specific signal transfer
The Madsen Lab is dedicated to a systems understanding of PI3K signalling plasticity, inspired by observations from human disorders such as cancer and PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum (PROS) 1,2. Read more
MSc by Research: Deciphering the ubiquitin codes that regulate protein degradation
Ubiquitin signalling, which involves the posttranslational modification (PTM) of proteins with ubiquitin, regulates almost every aspect of eukaryotic biology. Read more
MSc by Research: Genetic interactions and novel genes that regulate lignin biosynthesis and straw quality in barley
Lignin is a major component of plant cell walls, and has a significant influence on the digestibility and uses of plant biomass. The lignin biosynthesis pathway has been one of the most intensively studied. Read more
MSc by Research: Targeted protein post-translational modification to rewire cell signalling
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins, such as ubiquitylation and phosphorylation, are fundamental determinants of protein function and cellular signalling. Read more
Decoding the mechanism and function of UFMylation in ER Quality Control
Approximately one third of the human proteome depends on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for its biosynthesis. Read more
MSc by Research: Feel the tension – how does S-acylation of OSCA ion channels regulate responses to environmental change in plants?
Plants, being sessile organisms, must sense and respond to environmental change, such as temperature or drought, without being able to move. Read more
MSc by Research: Glueing proteins together with small molecules
Recent advances from the Ciulli Lab and others have contributed to the establishment of a game-changing new modality of chemical intervention into biological system – one that moves beyond the state-of-the-art. Read more
Funded MRC PPU PhD Programme 2025, University of Dundee, Scotland
The MRC Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit is a world-famous centre for the study of cell signaling and how disruption to signaling pathways causes human disease. Read more
MSc by Research: Unravelling the molecular mechanism underpinning Ubiquitin-like fusion protein proteolysis
The biological complexity observed in living organisms greatly exceeds the number of different forms of proteins (the proteome) that the encoding genomes would predict. Read more
Molecular mechanisms underlying Parkinson's disease
There is great need for improved understanding of the mechanistic biology underlying Parkinson’s disease. Such knowledge will help with development of new drugs that slow or even halt the progression of the disease. Read more
Finding the eat-me signals
The Ganley lab is interested in unravelling the molecular mechanism of autophagy (which literally translates from the Greek meaning to eat oneself). Read more
