Regulation of apoptosis-induced compensatory cell proliferation and its implications for cancer and tissue regeneration
In multi-cellular organisms, coordinated cell death (e.g. apoptosis) and cell replacement is critical for tissue recovery in response to stress or damage. Read more
Fungal biosynthesis of compounds for enteric methane mitigation
Thirty-five percent of New Zealand’s gross greenhouse gas emissions are a result of methane production in our grazing sheep and cattle. Read more
Molecular genetic characterization of Drosophila reproductive behaviours for exploitation in insect population control
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
Female reproductive behaviours in most insects profoundly change after mating leading to rejection of courting males and induction of egg laying. Read more
Mechanisms of growth and virulence in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other pathogenic mycobacteria
Sequenced genomes of mycobacteria, including the human tuberculosis causing pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis, reveal a number of genes dedicated to lipid biosynthesis and transport. Read more
Epitranscriptomic mechanisms in the maternal to zygotic transition of vertebrate embryos
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
Most mRNAs contain modified nucleotides in mRNA, but we know very little about their function (Haussmann et al, 2016, Dezi et al, 2016, Roignant and Soller, 2017). Read more
Determining novel molecular regulators of necrosis controlling premature cell death
Necrosis, a form of premature cell death, is frequently caused by excessive insults such as trauma, infection and toxins. It has been implicated in many human diseases including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders and inflammatory diseases. Read more
BBSRC MIBTP - Identification of pathways deregulating neuronal ELAV/Hu RNA binding proteins and alternative splicing in neurodegeneration
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
ELAV/Hu proteins comprise a family of highly conserved neuronal RNA binding proteins important for the development of the nervous system and for neuronal functions. Read more
The role of non-coding RNAs and epitranscriptomics in shaping 3D chromatin architecture in stem cells.
We are looking for an enthusiastic PhD student interested in working on non-coding RNAs and chromatin architecture at the Center for Human Technologies @IIT (Genova-Italy). Read more
How do pore-forming proteins, used in infection and immunity, assemble to puncture membranes of target cells and elicit cell killing?
Seeking a curious PhD student to join our interdisciplinary Structural Virology and Molecular. Machines group at the EMBL Australia Node in Single Molecule Science (SMS) at UNSW Sydney. Read more
How do viral capsids subvert host defences and deliver viral genomes into the host cell nucleus?
Seeking a curious PhD student to join our interdisciplinary Structural Virology and Molecular. Machines group at the EMBL Australia Node in Single Molecule Science (SMS) at UNSW Sydney. Read more
Fully funded PhD position in neural mechanisms of gut-brain communication
Fully funded PhD position in neural mechanisms of gut-brain communication. Dr. Yu Fu’s lab, Division of Neurometabolism in Health and Diseases. Read more
Uncovering anti-arrhythmic potential of stellate ganglion purinergic receptors.
Background. Cardiovascular disease affects over 30% of people worldwide, and is one of the leading causes of death each year. Elevated sympathetic nerve activity is a common feature of cardiovascular disease, contributing to end-organ damage, morbidity and mortality [1-3]. Read more
PhD study in Biochemistry, Biophysics, Molecular Biology, and Biotechnology
The PhD programme lasts for 8 semesters and the number of ECTS credits assigned to the programme is at least 40. The programme offers courses developing professional and didactic skills as well as general knowledge. Read more
Mechanisms of resistance to anticancer drugs that define heterogeneity of cancer cell populations
Fully funded PhD study. Development of resistance to chemotherapy is a leading cause of treatment failure. Drug-resistance mechanisms typically involve mutations in specific proteins or changes in their levels of expression. Read more
