Exploring evolutionary change through genomic sequencing of museum specimens
Next-generation sequencing has made it possible to sequence the genomes of museum specimens dating back several hundred years. In this project you will generate genomic data from museum specimens of birds, principally great tits. Read more
Prostate cancer signalling to the bone micro-environment - from molecular characterization to potential novel therapies.
About the Project. Prostate cancer is responsible for over 52,000 cancer diagnoses within the UK per annum, and is the most common cancer in males, accounting for 27% of all new cancer cases diagnosed within men in 2016-2017. Read more
Characterization of the molecular mechanisms of breast cancer metastasis to bone: from basic research to biomarkers
About the Project. Breast cancer is responsible for over 300,000 cancer diagnoses within the UK per annum, and it is estimated that one in 7 women will develop breast cancer. Read more
The genomic basis of obligate ant/plant symbioses
I am seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join this exciting project on the genomics of mutualism dependence using ant/plant symbioses as model systems. Read more
Fishing for clues: using zebrafish and human brain organoids to elucidate the pathology of a novel white matter disease
This project is part of a new UK network for research on white matter diseases. LEUKOLABS.UK, a collaboration established by the supervisory team including researchers and clinicians from the Universities of Sheffield, Leeds and York. Read more
Speciation in facultatively sexual species
Biologists have long been fascinated with the origin and maintenance of the diversity of life. Read more
China Scholarship Council scheme: Mapping differences in global mRNA splicing patterns in soft tissue sarcomas to improve diagnosis, prognosis and therapy.
Soft Tissue Sarcomas (STS) are rare and difficult to treat solid tumours derived from cells of mesenchymal lineage that can be classified into over 50 histological subtypes. Read more
China Scholarship Council scheme: Orphan GPCRs as therapeutic targets in motor neuron disease
The superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) includes ~800 seven-transmembrane receptors involved in diverse physiological and pathological functions. Read more
China Scholarship Council Scheme: Does the vault particle contribute to chemotherapy resistance in head and neck cancer?
Head and neck cancer (HNC) has a poor prognosis with a 5-year survival rate of ~50%. Treatment of HNC usually involves a combination of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Read more

Understanding gut degeneration in ageing, one cell at a time - Deciphering the role of telomerase in multi-cellular ageing of the gut, using single-cell RNA sequencing in the zebrafish model
Ageing is the strongest risk factor for chronic diseases. How and why this is the case remain important questions in the field. Read more
