The evolution of cell-cell signalling in unicellular eukaryotes, BBSRC SWBio DTP PhD studentship 2025
About. The BBSRC-funded SWBio DTP involves a partnership of world-renown universities, research institutes and industry, based mainly across the South West and Wales. Read more
Pre-T Cell receptor signalling dynamics and its role in cellular lineage determination
In complex biological systems, checkpoints ensure that critical components are functioning correctly. A great example of this is our immune system, which must integrate signals from multiple cell-types to protect us from invading pathogens. Read more
Understanding early tissue formation in the embryo and outside mimicking developmental programmes
Embryonic tissues and organs are shaped and patterned by complex genetic, molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate essential processes during development [1]. Read more

Investigating the structure, function and dynamics of the P2X7 receptor ballast domain
P2X7 receptors are ATP-activated cation channels predominantly expressed in immune cells. Read more

Non-genetic mechanisms of resistance to cell cycle inhibitors in cancer
Targeting cell cycle regulation is proving increasingly effective in cancer treatment. Read more
The Influence of Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on the Development and Prevention of Skin Cancers (Ref: AACME-24-018)
Background. biomedical application of fish oil-derived omega-3 fatty acids. Dietary intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids from fish oils has been shown to have various beneficial effects against inflammation and inflammatory diseases, as well as anti-tumour effects. Read more
Understanding how tyrosine phosphatases regulate the cytoskeleton
Question. Tyrosine phosphorylation of signalling proteins at the plasma membrane controls essential actin-dependent processes in eukaryotes, including migration, adhesion, and communication. Read more
Imaging the consequences of CD20 cross-linking in B cells using super-resolution microscopy (SRM) and Cryo-Electron Tomography (CryoET).
Joint Supervisors. Dr Harriet Walter, Department of Genetics, Genomics and Cancer Sciences and Dr Yolanda Markaki, Molecular & Cell Biology, University of Leicester. Read more

Funded PhD SWBio DTP- Mechanisms and functions of lysosome positioning
Project description. Lysosomes are the main degradative organelle in the cell. They contain >60 acid-hydrolases to digest cargo delivered via membrane trafficking processes including endocytosis and autophagy. Read more
Precision Medicine DTP - Multi-modal single-cell analysis of human kidney tissue to identify novel anti-inflammatory therapies for kidney disease
Research Group:
Centre for Cardiovascular Science
Additional supervisor. Prof Thomas Otto (University of Glasgow). Background. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health problem; it affects ~7% of the UK population and is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and for end-stage kidney disease (ESRD), necessitating dialysis or transplantation.

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership - Holding on: Investigating the contribution of attached Leishmania parasite forms in human infections.
Leishmania parasites are responsible for causing a collection of devastating diseases affecting millions of people worldwide. They are spread via infected female sand flies, who feed on blood to produce eggs. Read more
Regulation of E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion by the microtubule cytoskeleton
Primary Supervisor: Dr Natalia Bulgakova. Funding: China Scholarship Council (CSC). Deadline: 29th January 2025. Project Overview. Read more

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Primary Cilia Manipulation to Combat Systemic Fibrosis
Primary cilia play a fundamental role in cell signalling, acting as sensory cellular antennae for chemical and biomechanical signals, including morphogen signalling pathways implicated in myofibroblast transition, the key driver of tissue fibrosis. Read more
Investigating how cell size impacts proteome homoeostasis and cellular signalling
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
Pharmacological protection against a bad diet: a Drosophila model
Maintaining metabolic function is key to lifelong health. Changes in metabolism that disrupt cellular energy balance are now considered causative factors for multiple human diseases including diabetes, cancer and neurodegeneration. Read more
