Identifying causes of neuronal cell death in C9orf72 repeat expansion toxicity
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship to be hosted in the Institute of Healthy Aging, at UCL, to start September 1st 2025, with funding for 3.5 years. Read more
EastBio: Decoding the Cytoskeletal Basis of Synapse Organization through Super-Resolution Microscopy.
Synapses, micron-sized structures, enable rapid point-to-point communication between neurons and are critical to the proper functioning of the nervous system. Read more
Funded PhD open to UK-domiciled, home fee applicants of Black African, Black Caribbean or other Black or mixed Black heritage - The legacy impacts of extreme climate events on animal behaviour, physiology, and fitness
Human induced climate change is increasing the frequency, and severity of extreme climate events (ECEs) which can have significant consequences on biodiversity. Read more
SubCortical Maternal Complex - a small complex with a big role in early human development (MONKD_U25SCI)
Primary supervisor - Prof David Monk. Human fertility is declining, which is observed via the use of IVF and an increase in overall miscarriage rates. Read more
Understanding interactions between Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumonia and Corynebacterium within the human nasal microbiota
Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae are leading human pathogens and also asymptomatically colonise the upper respiratory tract of more than 30% of humans. Corynebacterium species are abundant in the human nasal cavity. Read more
Understanding how interaction with the host influences virulence and antimicrobial resistance in Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus aureus is a leading pathogen globally and also asymptomatically colonises the upper respiratory tract of more… Read more
Utilising statistical principles to improve design and analysis of laboratory experiments
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated PhD student to join our team at Brighton and Sussex Medical School. The candidate will work closely with researchers who have extensive expertise in gene expression measurement techniques (such as qPCR and RNA-Seq), data analysis, and statistics. Read more
Discovering the gene regulatory networks that control cereal development
All cereal crops are grasses, meaning that the grass family provides more than 50% of global calories. The grass leaf underpins this crucial productivity and yet we do not understand the gene regulatory networks that control its development. Read more
PhD Studentship in Understanding adenovirus diversity and immunity for pandemic preparedness
About the Project. Applications are invited for a fully funded 4-year PhD Studentship in Understanding adenovirus diversity and immunity for pandemic preparedness, based in the Department of Genetics at Cambridge University under the supervision of Dr Charlotte Houldcroft. Read more
The mitotic tsunami: how cells re-build their identity in G1.
The Buonomo and Gilbert groups aim at building an understanding of the eukaryotic nuclear function that integrates knowledge from what are traditionally viewed as different fields, such as epigenetics, DNA replication and nuclear architecture. Read more
Role of kinetochore proteins in building and regenerating neural circuits
The brain is a complex network of billions of neurons structured through highly specialized compartments. dendrites that receive signals, and axons that transmit them. Read more
MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Understanding how damaged DNA is excised and repaired to maintain genome integrity and prevent cancer.
Background. DNA is constantly damaged and must be repaired to prevent genome instability and cancer. Conversely chemotherapy typically induces DNA damage to cause cancer cell death. Read more
Investigating how cell size impacts proteome homoeostasis and cellular signalling
One of the most obvious differences between cells of different type is their size. Even within a given cell type, there are constant variations in size and, of course, a single proliferating cell will double in size every cell cycle. Read more
PhD project on developing peptide-based solutions to combat bacterial contamination and food spoilage at the University of Otago
The red meat industry in New Zealand contributes $10.8 billion annually to the economy, accounting for approximately 15% of the country’s total export earnings. Read more
Optimising nitrogen-fixing potential of British-grown lentil
Current global food system is unsustainable. Over-reliance on just four crops – rice, wheat, maize, and potato – is driving biodiversity loss and environmental damage. Read more
