(BBSRC NWD) Tackling metal contamination and demand: Engineering microbial biorecovery of metals
This project will focus on the development of a new approach for the removal and biorecovery of high value and precious metals from waste streams to address global challenges associated with environmental metal contamination and the growing demand for metallic catalysts. Read more
BBSRC NWD: Exploitation of RNA modification for optimal protein expression under stress conditions
mRNA post translational modifications can regulate the fate of a transcript. They are therefore critical for cellular adaptation and cell survival, especially under conditions of stress. Read more
BBSRC NWD CASE: Exploring Lipid Biosynthesis Mechanisms and Engineering Microalgae for High-Value Lipid Production
Background. The growing demand for sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based products has intensified the search for renewable sources of lipids for various biotechnological applications, particularly in the production of surfactants and biofuels. Read more
The Xu lab at Georgia State University - Fully funded position available
The Xu lab focuses on Nanobodies. Nanobodies are antigen-binding entities derived from the heavy chain-only antibodies of camelid animals, and they retain full antigen specificity at a very small size (13 kDa). 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
Last chance to apply
Image-based profiling of circulating tumor cells for rapid on-chip drug assays
Image based profiling is prevalent using clinical imaging modalities such as MRI, CT and PET. Sophisticated AI techniques to aid in diagnostics have arisen owing to the rich high-dimensional data present within images that is difficult or not possible to detect with human perception. Read more
Developing a small molecule for TLS inhibition
Our research is focused on the role of MAD2L2 in mitosis and transleasion synthesis (TLS). TLS inhibition is a new strategy in cancer treatment to improve the sensitivity to DNA damaging-chemotherapy. Read more
China Scholarship Council: Dynamics of the peri-nuclear actomyosin network for correct chromosome positioning in early mitosis
To maintain genetic integrity, human cells must inherit the whole set of chromosomes without any loss or excess when the cell division takes place. Read more
Genomics-first approaches for identifying novel drug targets for psychotic disorders
Psychotic experiences (hallucinations, delusions) occur in several forms of mental illness, particularly the most severe conditions of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Read more
Cell state plasticity in adult glioblastoma
Our laboratory focuses on studying epigenetic influences on evolutionary processes in high-grade gliomas at multiple levels. Read more
PhD Studentship in Cardiovascular Development: “Cell interactions in fourth pharyngeal arch artery morphogenesis”, funded by the British Heart Foundation.
Award Summary. 100% of home tuition fees paid and an annual stipend (living expenses) starting at £19,919. Additional funding is available to cover research costs and travel to conferences. . Read more
Integration of localized electrically deciphered epigenetic profiles for enhanced stem cell therapy
One fully funded Frederick E Hopper full-time PhD scholarship is available in the School of Dentistry for a start in October 2025. Read more
Single-molecule investigation of how flap-endonucleases recognise and cleave DNA structures to allow DNA replication (S3.5-SMP-Sayers)
Replication of DNA is one of the most fundamental processes of life, and the molecular machinery required in this process are some of the most evolutionarily ancient and universally conserved. Read more
Investigating the role of microbiomes and socioeconomic factors in oral cancer outcomes among South Asian and Caucasian populations in England
Summary. Socioeconomic and ethnic disparities in oral cancer (OC) in England have been documented for decades, with worse outcomes reported in Black populations [1]. Read more
PhD studentship in Ageing – Why do men and women age differently?
Award summary . 100% of home tuition fees paid and an annual stipend (living expenses) starting at £19,237 (24/25 rate). International candidates will be required to fund the difference between home fees and international fees. . Read more
