Machine learning for finding macromolecules in cells

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

The aim of this PhD project is to develop computer software for in situ structural biology projects. Specifically, software tools for the identification of macromolecular complexes in cryo-EM/cryo-ET data sets collected on thinned human and budding yeast cells. Read more

Supervisor: Dr D Barford

8 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

The macromolecular basis of nuclear remodelling in humans

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

Our lab focuses on understanding the processes which lead to a reshaping of the nuclear compartment in health and disease. The nucleus is continuously reshaped by the cytoskeletal filaments that surround it. Read more

Supervisor: Dr M Allegretti

8 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Investigating how water-rock interactions influence geothermal reservoir sustainability using experiments and geochemical modelling

Newcastle University

School of Natural and Environmental Sciences

Award summary. 100% home fees covered, and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £21,805 (2026/27 UKRI rate). An additional allowance will be provided to contribute towards consumables, equipment, and travel related to the project. Read more

Supervisor: Dr S Acikalin

2 October 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

Structures and mechanisms of the human replisome

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

Accurate genome duplication is essential for all forms of life. Read more

Supervisor: Dr J Yeeles

8 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Closing the loops: Unleashing the poteintial mTORC2.

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

mTORC2 can integrate multiple activating influences to positively influence anabolism, survival and cytoskeletal remodelling. We have characterised a positive feedback loop between mTORC2 and AKT and have shown that mTORC2 has a great potential for activation that has been overlooked in previous work. Read more

Supervisor: Dr R Williams

8 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Non-protein ubiquitylation in infection and physiology

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

Ubiquitylation is essential for eukaryotic life. Until recently, proteins were the only substrates known to be modified with ubiquitin. Read more

Supervisor: Dr F Randow

8 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Funded project GW4 BioMed3 MRC DTP - Gatekeepers of GPCR Signalling: Degradation Pathways in Health and Diseas

University of Bristol

School of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of cellsurface signalling proteins and mediate communication between cells throughout the body and brain. Read more

Supervisors: Dr A Grieve, Prof I Collinson

21 October 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

The life cycle of ecDNA

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

A major focus of the lab is understanding the links between replication and mutagenesis (1‑4). Extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) circles are present in a substantial proportion of cancers and frequently harbour oncogenes that drive tumour proliferation (5). Read more

Supervisor: Dr J Sale

8 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

TRIM21 degradation of viruses and aggregates

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

TRIM21 is the cytosolic E3 ligase and antibody receptor responsible for intracellular antibody immunity. Unlike other ubiquitin ligases, TRIM21 doesn’t have a defined substrate but is directed towards its targets by antibodies. Read more

Supervisor: Dr L James

8 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Investigating cellular mechanisms of tissue homeostatis and fibrosis using omics approaches

University of Southampton

School of Biological Sciences

Understanding how cells maintain tissue health or trigger irreversible decline is a frontier challenge in biomedical science. Using lung fibrosis as a primary disease model, this project investigates the core molecular networks controlling cellular fate, tissue regeneration, and scarring. Read more

Supervisors: Dr K N Natarajan, Dr M Jones

18 October 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

Replicating RNA with RNA

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

A critical event in the origin of life is thought to have been the emergence of an RNA molecule capable of self-replication as well as mutation, and hence evolution towards ever more efficient replication. Read more

Supervisor: Dr P Holliger

8 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Circuit basis of learning and action-selection

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

The overall goal of our research is to discover the circuit implementation of learning and action selection. Read more

Supervisor: Dr M Zlatic

8 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Transforming Thoughts into Actions

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

How does the brain transform what we perceive into what we do? Even a simple action, such as stopping at a red light and moving again when it turns green, requires the brain to select relevant sensory information, form an intention, prepare an appropriate movement and execute it at the right moment. Read more

Supervisor: Dr M Tripodi

8 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Neuropeptide networks in worms and octopus

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

In recent years, great efforts have been made to map the synaptic wiring diagrams of simple and complex nervous systems. However, chemical synapses, the connections used in most connectomics research, represent only one type of functionally important signalling between neurons. Read more

Supervisor: Dr W Schafer

8 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Pathological protein assembly in neurodegenerative diseases

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)

Laboratory of Molecular Biology

Neurodegenerative diseases are one of the greatest health challenges facing our society. This large group of diseases is characterised by the pathological assembly of specific proteins into amyloid filaments in the central nervous system. Read more
