Deciphering the molecular mechanisms of mechanosensing in stem cell homeostasis and differentiation.
Background. Stem cells have an essential role in homeostasis, repair, and regeneration of a tissue or organ. The adult skin is home to largest collection of multipotent stem cells, which are immature cells with unlimited ability to self-renew and capacity to differentiate into different skin cell lineages.

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Macrophage reprogramming in response to the clearance of pathogen-induced cell death.
Background. Approximately 0.4% of adult human cells undergo regulated cell death (RCD) daily, primarily through apoptosis. To prevent excessive inflammation, these dead cells must be cleared in an immunologically silent manner—a process known as efferocytosis. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Investigating the cell biology of Neoparamoeba perurans, a causative agent of Amoebic Gill Disease, and its endosymbiont kinetoplastid, Perkinsela.
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Summary. Read more
Mapping CD4+ T cell fate decisions and functional coordination within tissues during infection
CD4+ T cells are essential components of the immune system, orchestrating protection against infection. Read more
Precision Medicine DTP - Development of a precision medicine-based gene therapy to treat atherosclerotic disease
About the Project. Additional supervisors - Prof Judith Sluimer (Maastricht University) & Prof Lars Maegdefessel (Karolinska Institutet). Read more
Creating microcarriers for improving the survival and integration of cells transplanted to the brain.
Background. For neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, where a specific cell type is lost, it is possible to consider replacing these cells to restore the lost function. Read more
Determining metabolic reprogramming events in stem cells in response to inflammatory disease phenotype
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are responsible for the repair of damaged tissue following injury and disease as well as moderating innate and adaptive immune responses and regulation of self-tolerance and tissue homeostasis. Read more
Structural and functional analysis of the protein complexes which regulate cell fate decisions to identify novel cancer therapies
Whether a cell dies or not has profound consequences on health and disease. In healthy tissue, cells that acquire high levels of genetic damage are safely removed via a process of programmed cell death. Read more
(Bicentenary) Novel machine learning methods for single cell multiomics data with applications to human upper GI development
Single-cell multiomics technologies enable the profiling of different components of transcriptional machinery at single-cell resolution, such as paired RNA and chromatin accessibility. Read more
Self-organized guidance in collective cell migration S3.5-MPS-Ucar
We are seeking PhD candidates who are passionate about exploring scientific questions at the intersection of physics, biology, and data science to join our new research team in “Physics of Life” at the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, University of Sheffield. Read more
Precision Medicine DTP – Dissecting Macrophage-Fibroblast Cell Circuits in Liver Fibrosis using Spatial Omics
iCASE Project - MRC’s iCASE awards provide students with experience of collaborative research with a non-academic partner, enabling the student to spend a period of time with the partner (usually no less than three months over the lifetime of the PhD). Read more
Precision Medicine DTP - Defining vascular-immune cell heterogeneity and and intercellular communication in human vascular disease and dementia
About the Project. Additional supervisor - Prof. Raj Kalaria (Newcastle University). Background. Dementia, affecting nearly 1 million people in the UK, leads to progressive cognitive decline and impairment in daily activites. Read more
Single-cell profiling: Exploring individualism and group behaviour within bacterial populations
Primary Supervisor: Dr Christoph Engl. Co-Supervisor(s): Dr Andrei Sapelkin (SPCS). Funding: China Scholarship Council (CSC). Read more
Non-genetic mechanisms of resistance to cell cycle inhibitors in cancer
Targeting cell cycle regulation is proving increasingly effective in cancer treatment. Read more
Should I stay or should I go now? Programming immune cell retention versus resolution at sites of tissue damage
The white blood cells known as macrophages are fundamental for development, homeostasis and defences against infections and altered self. Read more
