Mechanisms of protein quality control in health and disease
Accumulation of misfolded proteins and aberrant protein aggregates are hallmarks of a wide range of pathologies such as neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Read more
Boosting protein quality control systems to treat neurodegenerative diseases
The deposition of misfolded proteins is a defining feature of many age-dependent human diseases, including the increasingly prevalent neurodegenerative diseases. Read more
Decoding the mechanism and function of UFMylation in ER Quality Control
Approximately one third of the human proteome depends on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for its biosynthesis. Read more
Integrated omics approach to psychiatric disorders
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
In psychiatry, the selection of antipsychotics and antidepressants is led by a trial-and-error approach. The prescribing of these medications is complicated by sub-optimal efficacy and high rates of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Read more
Chaperones and the response to protein misfolding stress
Misfolded proteins are usually refolded to their functional conformations or degraded by quality control mechanisms. When misfolded proteins evade quality control, they form aggregates that are sequestered to specific sites within cells. Read more
Generative AI for the Next Generation of Manufacturing Automation Systems PhD
The application of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, digital twin, blockchain, and the internet of things are growing fast, and their integration with complex manufacturing systems enables effective digitalisation and automation transition. Read more
Mitochondrial Diseases and Immunity
Supervisor. Prof. Rita Horvath . Co-supervisor: Dr. Daniel Lagos . Mitochondria are specialised cell organelles which transform nutrients into energy. Read more
Identifying critical pathways regulating autoimmunity in immuno-oncology and arthritis patients. Short title: IPADS (Immune PAthways for Drug Side-effects)
Inflammatory arthritis (IA) can result from non-autoimmune diseases (like crystal arthritis) and from autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthropathies (inc. Read more
GW4 BioMed2 MRC DTP PhD project: Causal inference tools to study vaccines using real-world data: how can we make better use of negative control outcomes?
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the GW4 BioMed2 MRC Doctoral Training Partnership which is offering up to 21 studentships for entry in September 2025. Read more
Fouling Control of Water Treatment Membranes through Optimal and Sustainable Cleaning Strategies
Membrane fouling – the deposition of organic and inorganic matter on the membrane surface – is a major technical obstacle affecting membrane-based water treatment processes. Read more
Metabolomic characterisation of adiposity across the life course
Adiposity, measured by body mass index (BMI), is linked to a range of health outcomes, but the underpinning biology is less understood. Read more
Funded MRC PPU PhD Programme 2025, University of Dundee, Scotland
The MRC Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit is a world-famous centre for the study of cell signaling and how disruption to signaling pathways causes human disease. Read more

Last chance to apply
Quantum-limited holographic sensing of nanoparticles in plasma CVD of quantum devices
Solid state device fabrication underpinning semiconductor and quantum technology [1] relies heavily on etching and deposition techniques based on plasma chemical vapour deposition (CVD) [2,3]. Read more
Beyond Lysine: Exploring the Functional Consequences of Non-Canonical Ubiquitination in Health and Disease
Ubiquitination is a fundamental post-translational modification (PTM) crucial for a wide range of cellular processes, including protein degradation, localization, quality control, DNA repair, cell signalling, and immune responses. Read more
