China Scholarship Council: 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
China Scholarship Council: PROTACs in plants - effectiveness, biological mechanisms and implications for use
Agriculture for the future. climate change, expanding populations, emerging pathogens and water constraints. . Food production must increase by 50% by 2050 to feed the global population in the face of climate change, while using less water, pesticide and fertilizer (UN FAO). Read more
Last chance to apply
Investigating efflux transporter liabilities of Targeted Protein Degraders
Funding – School of Life Sciences; funded 4-year studentship, providing tuition fees, training/research costs and an annual tax free stipend of £19,236 . Read more
Translational Studies into Molecular mechanisms underlying Parkinson's disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a devastating neurodegenerative condition that affects up to 10 million people worldwide and there is no cure. Read more
China Scholarship Council: Cryo electron microscopy of the exocyst complex on membranes
Cell communication requires both a sending and a receiving cell. To send messages, Metazoan harness trafficking machinery. Yet, despite basic knowledge of the components and regulatory factors involved, we lack molecular mechanism. . Read more
China Scholarship Council: Trimming the fat – identification of de-S-acylating enzymes from plants
Plants must alter their cellular processes and functions in response to a stimulus, such as hormones or pathogens, and all of this relies upon the action of proteins. Read more
Discovery of novel mitochondrial and organelle mechanisms underlying Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a movement disorder that is now the fastest growing neurological disorder in the world. Despite much research the disease is incurable and there are no treatments that can slow the disease down. Read more
BARIToNE: Genetic control of skinning in a changing climate (Project code 25A)
Supervisors. Lead supervisor - Dr Chiara Campoli, James Hutton Institute. Second supervisor - Dr Sarah McKim, University of Dundee. Read more
China Scholarship Council: Dynamics of the peri-nuclear actomyosin network for correct chromosome positioning in early mitosis
To maintain genetic integrity, human cells must inherit the whole set of chromosomes without any loss or excess when the cell division takes place. Read more
China Scholarship Council: Breaking the barrier: Improving antibiotic design by machine learning
Antibiotic resistance is a global health problem of increasing severity. Infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria are especially difficult to treat owing to the poor permeability of their cell envelope and the efficiency of multidrug efflux pumps, which prevents drugs from accumulating near their targets. Read more
China Scholarship Council: Exploring the role of extracellular vesicles in insect pest saliva
Sap-feeding insect pests cause significant economical damage to crops globally. While probing and feeding these insects secrete saliva inside their hosts which contains a wide range of molecules, including proteins, RNA, and metabolites. Read more
China Scholarship Council: Facing the Future: how cereal surfaces interact with climate change
Plants living on land face a a brutal environment with risks of dehydration, exposure to variable temperatures and UV, as well as pest attack. Read more
China Scholarship Council: Discovery of novel mitochondrial and organelle biology underlying Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a movement disorder that is now the fastest growing neurological disorder in the world. Despite much research the disease is incurable and there are no treatments that can slow the disease down. Read more
China Scholarship Council: Molecular interplay in plant-aphid-virus interactions
Aphid-transmitted plant viruses pose a major threat to potato crop production. Among the non-persistent viruses, potyviruses, such as PVY and PVA, cause significant economic damage. Read more
Funded MRC PPU PhD Programme 2025
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
