Elphinstone Scholarship - Novel interventions for treatment of diabetes and heart disease
Obesity is a major risk factor for development of insulin-resistance, diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD is the most prevalent cause of mortality among patients with diabetes, due to accelerated atherosclerosis. Read more
Novel Therapies targeting Cardiovascular Disease. Synthetic Lipoxin-A4 mimetics: novel therapeutic approaches to target residual inflammatory risk in Atherosclerosis-Associated Diabetes Complications.
Atherosclerosis is a life-long condition essentially due to an inflammatory reaction that drives accumulation of fats and cell debris into the vessel wall, blocking the blood flow. Read more
Experimental approaches to the evolution of anisogamy in a single celled alga
Research Group:
Centre for Evolutionary Biology
We are looking for a talented student to conduct their PhD on the evolutionary biology of anisogamy. Anisogamy is the difference in size between male and female gametes and is the driver of sexual selection and the evolution of the sexes. Read more
Choosing to persist: sexual section and conservation in the wild
Research Group:
Centre for Evolutionary Biology
The prevailing story of sexual selection, in which the sexes either compete for or choose the other sex, has been one of costly and detrimental extravagance. Read more
mRNA epigenetics: Charaterization of a novel layer of gene regulation for essential brain functions
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
For over 40 years we know about modified nucleotides in mRNA, but the functions for these essential modifications are largely elusive. Read more
CRISPR-activation therapy for macular disease
Inherited macular dystrophies (MDs) are genetically heterogeneous making a single therapeutic approach difficult. Given the limited therapeutic options there is a critical need for additional therapies, especially ones that are widely applicable. Read more
Population genomic analysis of the Aotearoa New Zealand Yellowtail kingfish – haku for community-led aquaculture
Project Description. We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student for a project that aims to sequence the kingfish (Seriola lalandi) genome, conduct a population genomic study, and help prepare this species for a community-led Māori aquaculture initiative in Aotearoa New Zealand. Read more

What is the role of intestinal mucins in health maintenance during ageing?
An increasing proportion of our population falls within the elderly age bracket. As a result, the identification of interventions that help people stay healthy into their old age is one of the most significant challenges facing biomedical research. Read more

How does germline fate regulate C. elegans cell division?
Project Title. Investigating the role of germline fate in regulating C. elegans cell division. Background. Cytokinesis, the physical division of one cell into two, is fundamental to life and errors can result in abnormal chromosomal numbers, developmental defects, and cancers. Read more
