Investigating the Phase separation underlying the transcriptional regulation and 3D chromatin organisation in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) pathogenesis.
Stipend. Standard Research Council London Rate + Tuition Fees (Home rate) for 3 years. A consumables budget is also provided. Applications are invited for a 3-year PhD studentship based in the Centre for Haematology, Department of Immunology & Inflammation at Imperial College London. Read more
Studying the impact of parasitic worm infections on intestinal stem cell fate and differentiation
Project Overview. Whipworms infect hundreds of millions of people and cause trichuriasis, a major neglected disease. These large metazoan parasites inhabit a multi-intracellular niche within their host gut lining, where they can remain for years. Read more
Patient outcomes and new therapies in aortic aneurysm using iPSC ‘disease-in-a-dish’ models
Project Overview. We have pioneered the use of induced pluripotent stem cells from patients with genetically mediated aortic aneurysms (such as Marfan and Loeys-Dietz syndromes) to set up ‘disease-in-a-dish’ in vitro models (PMIDs. Read more
Gene regulation in human development
A PhD project studying gene regulation in human organoids is available in the laboratory of Dr. Fiona Wardle (https://www.kcl.ac.uk/research/wardle-group) in the Randall Centre for Cell and Molecular Biophysics, King’s College London. Read more
Identifying therapeutically-targetable mechanisms of PIK3CA mutant-specific signal transfer
The Madsen Lab is dedicated to a systems understanding of PI3K signalling plasticity, inspired by observations from human disorders such as cancer and PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum (PROS) 1,2. Read more
Uncovering the role of RARɣ in mouse embryonic development using gastruloids
The three retinoic acid receptors (RAR), RARα, RARβ, RARɣ, are transcription factors that control gene expression and cell fate following their activation by all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), the active metabolite of vitamin A. Read more
3D printing spinal cords
Project Overview. This project offers an exciting opportunity to use hydrogels and 3D printing to engineer a segment of the spinal cord, which could be further developed into a transplant for patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Read more
Understanding Spinal Cord Regeneration: The role of dynamic gene expression
Spinal cord injury(SCI) paralysis is a devastating disease that affects at least 2500 people per year in the UK. It carries substantial individual and societal costs with most SCI sufferers experiencing chronic pain. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Microenvironment in paediatric and adult acute myeloid leukaemia
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Abstract: Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous disease that is characterized by a block in myeloid differentiation, as well as enhanced proliferation and survival. Read more
