Understanding the ecological and evolutionary effects of heatwaves in tropical species and ecological communities

James Cook University College of Science and Engineering

Heatwaves are considered one of the most threatening processes for our plants and animal species as the Earth’s climate warms. There is much to understand about how our species and the ecological communities they form will change and adapt through heatwaves. Read more

Fully funded PhD studentship in mechanisms of cancer heterogeneity and drug sensitivity

Ariel University Department of Molecular Biology

Treatment of cancer with drugs that cause DNA damage often leads to development of the drug tolerance. Recently, we uncovered a novel mechanism of such an adaptation that associates with active generation of hundreds of thousand mutations in chromosomes that prevent drug-triggered DNA damage.

Cellular mechanisms of equal chromosome segregation and genome stability

University of Southampton School of Biological Sciences

The PhD project will investigate how chromosomes segregate equally in each cell division through epigenetic regulation of the centromere, and how cells respond in stress conditions to maintain genome instability. Read more
