Spatial and three-dimensional genome regulation during zygotic genome activation

Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) marks the transition from maternal to embryonic control of development and provides a tractable system in which to examine how regulatory genome function is established (1). Read more

Designing peptides to uncover cancer vulnerabilities at telomeres

How do cells copy chromosome ends whose protection depends on restricting access to DNA? Telomeres are protected by shelterin, a protein complex that prevents chromosome ends from being mistaken for broken DNA. Read more

Reading tissue history and exposures using spatial single-cell genomics

Every cell carries a record of its past. Somatic mutations and DNA methylation changes accumulate as cells divide and as tissues encounter chemicals in the environment, leaving marks that reveal how tissues are built, maintained, and damaged [1,2,3]. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr A Russell, Dr T Coorens

PhD Scholarship Project: Molecular modelling for pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical formulations

Many promising medicines fail because of poor solubility, limited bioavailability, or uncontrolled interactions with biological interfaces. Read more
 Supervisor: Prof A Galindo
 Year round applications  PhD Research Project  Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
More details

Pluripotency-specific regulation of transposable elements in mammalian development

In early development, a single fertilized zygote proceeds through a series of cleavage steps to develop into a multicellular blastocyst. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr M Percharde, Dr V Azuara
 18 November 2026  PhD Research Project  Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Mutate, model, predict: uncovering how regulatory elements encode gene expression dynamics

How does our genome ensure that the right genes are expressed in the right cells and at the right time during development? Although much of this control is encoded in non-coding, cis-regulatory elements, we still lack the ability to predict how regulatory DNA contributes to precise gene expression outputs. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr V Metzis, Dr R Perez-Carrasco, Dr J Ware

(EPSRC DTP) Causal Modelling of Cardiac Dose, Tissue Recovery and Survival in Thoracic Reirradiation

Radiotherapy is used to treat many cancers and plays a key role in cancer care. As patients live longer, increasing numbers require a second course of radiotherapy because their cancer recurs or a new cancer develops in a previously treated area. Read more
