We have 52 University of Dundee, School of Life Sciences PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

China Scholarship Council: Protein Search at Tree of Life Scale using Natural (Protein) Language Models

In this computational biology project with focus on machine learning (natural language processing) the ideal candidate enjoys working with biological data and on biological questions, but has further interest in applied machine learning and/or predictive modeling to explore the complexities of the ToL in a pattern recognition framework. .

China Scholarship Council: Exploring the role of aphid salivary proteins in promoting susceptibility and virus transmission

Aphids are one of the most devastating insect pests, globally. These insects form a close association with their host and use specialized mouthparts (stylets), to probe leaf tissue and feed on the phloem over prolonged periods of time. Read more

China Scholarship Council: Somitogenesis and the cell cycle

One of the key processes in embryo development is somitogenesis. This describes the formation of segments, known as somites, that go on to develop the bone and muscles of the skeleton. Read more

China Scholarship Council: The molecular and cellular biology of dementia and motor neuron disease

Protein aggregation is central to dementia and motor neuron disease. Understanding how proteins become aggregated in disease will help us to better understand potential causes and may lead to new treatments. Read more

China Scholarship Council: Life on the Edge: understanding how cereals surfaces respond to change

Cereals are our primary source of calories. To safeguard our food supply, we must maintain cereal grain yields despite accelerating and more extreme temperature and drought events from climate change. Read more

China Scholarship Council: Climate change and sensory development in animals

Earth has experienced 0.8°C increase in average temperature since 1950 and 2C since 1880 [1,2]. Human beings are exposed to this suboptimal temperature chronically for many months at a stretch. Read more

China Scholarship Council: Using state-of-the-art genomics and genetics to clone functional disease resistance genes in potato

Potato is the third most important food crop and consumed by over a billion people around the world. More than 375 million tonnes of potato were produced in 2021 but it’s estimated that approximately 25% are lost to diseases. Read more

China Scholarship Council: Lysosomal multi-omics in neurodegeneration

Lysosomes are key cellular organelles that degrade and recycle macromolecules, act as signalling hubs and are implicated in many diseases including Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) where old age is a major risk factor. Read more
