We have 36 Biological Sciences PhD Research Projects PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Australia

Exploring nutritional supplements to enhance coral reslience

In order to thrive and endure environmental challenges, corals, like all living organisms, necessitate exceptional nutrition. Although typically situated in nutrient-poor waters, corals possess the ability to extract nutrients from their surroundings to support their well-being. Read more

Applied optogenetics to study the influence of neuronal activity on neurodegeneration

Neurodegenerative diseases represent a significant and growing challenge to global health, affecting millions worldwide. Despite extensive research efforts, the underlying mechanisms of neurodegeneration are not fully understood, and there is a critical lack of effective treatments. Read more

BOOSTING C4 PHOTOSYNTHESIS BY ALTERING PEP CARBOXYLASE

ABOUT THE PROJECT. The Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment (HIE) is offering a research scholarship to a highly motivated PhD candidate to work within a research group addressing how to improve the primary carboxylase of C4 photosynthesis. Read more

The evolutionary basis of feeding preferences: A Geometric Framework approach

Despite the essential role food plays in our lives, we have little understanding of how different nutrients work together to impact functioning, or the reasons individuals choose certain combinations of food. Read more

Fully funded PhD scholarship in forest biogeochemistry and microbial greenhouse gas mitigation

PhD Scholarship. Barking up the right trees – a microbial solution for our methane problem. This Southern Cross University 3.4-year fully funded PhD project supports an Australian Research Council DECRA project investigating the role of tree-dwelling microbial communities in mitigating greenhouse gasses. Read more

Development of an early clinical screening tool for oesophageal adenocarcinoma

About the Project. A PhD research scholarship is available at the Western Sydney University, School of Medicine, for a highly motivated candidate who is technically skilled with a strong background in biochemistry, human metabolomics, and clinical research. Read more

Early detection of neurodegenerative disorders using artificial intelligence

A fantastic opportunity for a PhD student to complete an exciting project which aims to utilize vision deep learning for early detection of neurodegenerative disorders. Read more

PhD in stem cell modelling for neuropsychiatric disorders

This project provides a unique opportunity to explore the developmental origins of schizophrenia—a severe mental health disorder—using cutting-edge patient-derived stem cell models. Read more

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

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

Pharmaceutical process development, optimization and scale-up of plant-based cancer drugs

Project - We are pleased to announce an exciting PhD opportunity within our ground-breaking project dedicated to the optimization of extraction and purification processes of plant-derived molecules, with potential applications in cancer treatment as a collaborative effort with the South Australian immunoGENomics Cancer Institute. Read more

Bioengineering a dynamic culture platform to improve the maturity of iPSC-derived muscle organoids

About the project. Heart disease is a critical health burden and leading cause of mortality worldwide. To understand disease mechanisms and develop future treatments for heart disease, we have developed a human cardiac organoid platform derived from pluripotent stem cells. Read more

Vaccine Engineering

An opportunity exists for a PhD position in vaccine engineering. Vaccines are one of the most effective health care interventions but remain a challenge for many diseases, and in particular intracellular pathogens such as malaria where T cell responses are particularly desirable. Read more

Systems immunology and multi-omics approaches to understand protective immunity to human malaria

This PhD project aims to develop and apply computational approaches that integrate systems biology and molecular immunology to understand host-pathogen immunity and predict immune control of malaria. Read more

Molecular Immunology of Malaria

An opportunity exists for a PhD position in the molecular immunology of malaria. The focus of this project will be to apply cutting-edge technologies to understand the molecular basis of protective immunity to malaria. Read more

Understanding the link between EBV and Multiple Sclerosis

An opportunity exists for a PhD position in molecular immunology, where cutting-edge technologies will be applied to understand the molecular basis of the link between EBV and Multiple Sclerosis. Read more

PhD Scholarship Opportunity: novel technologies for vision restoration

We are looking for 1-2 highly motivated, passionate, and competitive candidate for fully funded PhD positions in developing exciting technologies for vision restoration. Read more

Electro-bioluminescence for integrated milk biosensors

 Electro-bioluminescence for integrated milk biosensors. The PhD project will develop an integrated electro-bioluminescent sensing technology for the simultaneous detection of lactose, micro and macro nutrients (metal ions and vitamins) in breast milk samples. Read more

Development of integrated microfluidic chips for making mRNA nanomedicines

Project. Messenger RNA (mRNA) provides a highly flexible platform for the development of vaccines. A robust immune response typically requires both an antibody response and a T-cell response. Read more

Development of integrated microfluidic chips for making mRNA nanomedicines

Project. Recent mRNA vaccine success has heralded a new era of RNA nanomedicines. We are pleased to announce a fully funded PhD position with a scholarship focused on the development of integrated microfluidic chips for making mRNA nanomedicines. Read more
