PhD Opportunity - The molecular basis of cell self-renewal and pluripotency in embryonic stem cells
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline. Self-renewal and pluripotency are the main characteristics of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Read more
MSc By Research: Investigating the cellular mechanisms underlying the link between maternal diabetes and autism spectrum disorders using 3D human brain organoids.
The MSc by Research programme at the University of Aberdeen is for students interested in a research-intensive master's degree. It is designed specifically to enhance your skills for a PhD or research career. Read more
Identification of transcriptomic signatures of autism-like neurodevelopmental disorder
The overarching aim of this project is to define transcriptional patterns and identify new genetic elements essential for the correct development of the human brain. Read more
Mechanisms of Cancer Stem Cell Survival, Metastasis Formation and Immune Evasion in Cancer
Recent research suggests that cancer cells within a tumour represent a highly heterogeneous cell population. In particular many tumours contain small percentage of cells that share several characteristics with stem cells. Read more
Defining targeting vulnerabilities in breast cancer stem cells
Applications are invited for a 4-year self-funded PhD Studentship starting all year round. Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer worldwide and remains a leading cause of death in females. Read more
Exploring mechanisms underlying viral infections in initiating pulmonary fibrosis
Respiratory viral infections are the most prevalent illnesses in humans. In addition to their immediate health effects, these infections can result in long-term lung conditions like pulmonary fibrosis and worsen existing chronic lung diseases. Read more
Defining the rate limiting steps of differentiation tempo through deterministic forward programming
Academic Supervisor. Teresa Rayon. Industrial Partner. bit.bio. The Babraham Research Campus (BRC) is pleased to announce a number of studentships from its BBSRC Collaborative Training Partnership (CTP) Award to start in October 2025. Read more
Developing a novel drug screening platform for schistosomes using the free-living flatworm Schmidtea mediterranea
Schistosoma mansoni is one of three major schistosome species that infect over 240 million people across 70 developing countries, with an additional 0.6 billion at risk of infection. Read more
Epigenetics of early human development: From molecular mechanisms to regenerative medicine
The 46th chromosome in XX female mammals, the second X, has to be switched off. That way females equalize gene dosage of X-linked genes with XY males. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Osseointegrative and antimicrobial surfaces for dental implant with designed micro/nano-topographies
The use of dental implants has become a common treatment for the replacement of missing or damaged teeth. It is estimated that 10% of the world’s population will need a dental implant in their lifetime. Read more
Bioprinting Gradient Scaffolds for Osteochondral Tissue Engineering Using Cell Instructive Microparticles
Interested in exploring the untapped potential of stem cells in tissue regeneration and healing using cutting-edge interdisciplinary research techniques?. Read more
Enhancing stem cell-derived motor neuron function as a therapeutic approach in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2025/26
Project Summary. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease, for which there is currently no effective treatment. Read more
Deriving functional neurons from hIPSCs
Neuronal networks grown on petri dishes encode information as electrical activity. This activity is dictated by their underlying structural and functional connectivity. Read more
Investigating the cellular functions of Trappc9 in brain development and microcephaly
This PhD project will investigate the cellular functions of the Trafficking protein particle complex subunit 9 (Trappc9) and its roles in brain development. Read more
Developing neuroinformatic phenotypes for cerebral organoids
Human cerebral organoids are generated from stem cells, forming a brain-like tissue in the laboratory dish. When grown from patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), they offer an in vitro model for mechanistic studies of brain disorders and for personalised drug screening. Read more
