We have 275 Genetics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Probing Death Decisions from Morphogen Gradient Fields

Morphogen gradient scaling is one of the hottest fields in developmental biology at the moment. Scaling is fundamental, explaining how the machinery that controls pattern formation in development (the morphogens) can adapt, so that organs of different sizes show morphological structures which are proportioned.

Using single cell transcriptomic and blood proteomic data to understand how pancreatic cancer causes diabetes and to find ways to detect the cancer earlier

Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest of the common cancers. Five-year survival remains low at 12%. Sadly for 80% of patients, by the time their cancer is diagnosed it has spread to distant organs making them ineligible for potentially curative surgery. Read more

Biophysical explorations of neural crest cell behaviours in development and cancer

Neural crest cells are highly migratory. These cells travel throughout the developing embryo, eventually contributing to most organ systems, including the peripheral nervous system, pigment cells and craniofacial skeleton. Read more

Discovery of cancer antigens that are epigenetically-regulated as biomarkers and vaccine candidates

We are seeking a graduate who is passionate about contributing to cancer research and who has a background in immunology or epigenetics and a degree at least at the upper second-class honours level. Read more

PhD studentship - Commercial Applications of Skin Bioenergy Research

Value of award . 100% of Home tuition fees paid and UKRI stipend for annual living expenses.  A successful international candidate needs to fund the difference between the UK and international fees. . Read more

Eliminating Harmful Cells to Maintain Homeostatis and Prevent Tumorigenesis

Hamaratoglu Lab studies cell-cell signalling in development, homeostasis and tumourigenesis. We take advantage of outstanding genetic tools in Drosophila, and use larval imaginal discs as model epithelial organs. Read more

PhD Studentship in quantitative genetics of neurodevelopment

The student will have the opportunity to work on a project analysing data from large-scale longitudinal and developmental cohorts with a focus on infant and child phenotypes. Read more

NIHR Leeds BRC: Utilising genetic and genomic predictors of vasculitis and disease/treatment complications for application in routine clinical practice

There is substantial interest in using genetic biomarkers to predict those most at risk of disease and treatment complications; this is one of the focuses of Our Future Health, a national study aiming to recruit 5M participants ( https://ourfuturehealth.org.uk/ ). Read more

Understanding the evolution of gene regulatory networks through biophysical modelling and machine learning

The ability to coordinate the expression of genes within a cell is at the heart of life. When and how much of a specific gene is turned into a protein is essential for organisms to respond to their environment and to manage resources. Read more

The evolutionary basis of feeding preferences: A Geometric Framework approach

Despite the essential role food plays in our lives, we have little understanding of how different nutrients work together to impact functioning, or the reasons individuals choose certain combinations of food. Read more

Epigenetics and Cancer: Determining how Mistakes in V(D)J Recombination Trigger Leukaemias and Lymphomas

V(D)J recombination is essential to produce an effective adaptive immune system but since the reaction involves breakage and rejoining of DNA, it is highly dangerous and errors have long been thought to lead to leukaemias and lymphomas. Read more

UCL SECReT: The International Training Centre for Security and Crime Research Degrees

UCL's Security Science Doctoral Research Training Centre (UCL SECReT) was founded in 2009 with support from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (ESRC) and an array of public and private sector organisations working in crime reduction security and law enforcement. Read more
