Mining the host-pathogen interface to deliver a drug pipeline for treating intractable and emerging infections
We are currently looking for a PhD candidate to join the One Health Laboratory of Infectious Disease at Griffith University, led by A/Prof Lara Herrero (MD, MPH, PhD). Read more
Elphinstone Scholarship - Developing new anti-cancer drugs: computational design and chemoenzymatic production of cyclic peptide inhibitors of the oncogenic mortalin-p53 interaction
This drug discovery PhD project will involve computational design, chemoenzymatic synthesis and experimental testing of modified cyclic peptides engineered to function as potential chemotherapeutics. Read more
Elphinstone Scholarship - How does human SAF-A protein enable cell proliferation?
DNA replication and local chromatin structure are tightly correlated. However, our mechanistic understanding of the correlation is limited. Read more
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
Elphinstone Scholarship - Salmonella Toxin: A New Cancer Therapeutic Tool
The use of natural toxins to treat cancer is not a novel idea and some toxin-derived drugs like Paclitaxel are well established in the clinic and more drugs are in development. 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
Development of molecular simulation model for heterogeneous RNA and RNA-protein structures.
In recent years, it has become clear that RNA molecules play active roles in a variety of cell regulatory processes. In addition, RNA molecules have a great potential for therapeutic applications, as evidenced by the success of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Read more
Pathophysiological role of TRPA1 in diabetic sensory neuropathy
Diabetes is one of the major health challenges of our time, affecting about 10% of the global population. Complications of longstanding disease affect… Read more
Investigating the impact of the mechanical code of the genome on protein:DNA interactions
Training opportunity. This project will appeal to a motivated student who wants training in the cutting-edge technologies surrounding genomic research. Read more
PhD Student in 3D skin proteomics
The Dengjel Lab at the Dept. of Biology, University of Fribourg (. www.unifr.ch/bio/en/research/biochemistry/dengjel.html. ) is interested in skin biology and wound healing (1-2). Read more
Understanding the link between SGLT2i’s and skeletal muscle health
Sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have provided a step change in the way in which we treat and manage those with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) through their role in the manipulation of glucose reabsorption. Read more
Are macrophages the heroes or villains of infection control?
The field of host pathogen interactions has never been more important. From the recent Covid19 pandemic to the causes of cancer and neurodegenerative disease host pathogen interactions underpin the pathology of many important diseases. Read more

Using structural biology to develop drugs and improve genetic testing for polycystic kidney disease
Are you looking for a PhD in structural and computational biology applied to drug development for human diseases?. This PhD project will investigate the molecular causes of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD), a rare inherited disorder that causes severe defects in kidney development. 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
Seaweed Bioactives Supplemented Animal Feeds
Background. In many European countries, pig production is responsible for the highest consumption of veterinary antibiotics, particularly antibiotics such as penicillins, tetracyclines, potentiated sulphonamides and macrolides. Read more
