MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Breaking the wall to finding new drugs for antimicrobial resistant fungi
As with bacteria, antimicrobial resistance is a major and increasing problem for fungi. Antimicrobials commonly target bacterial cell walls. Read more
MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Old-age macrophages? Programming distinct immune behaviours across the lifecourse
The white blood cells known as macrophages play fundamental roles in development, homeostasis and immunity. Dysfunction of these important innate immune cells underlies many morbidities, including cancer and cardiovascular disease. Read more
Using genome sequencing to find the cause of undiagnosed rare conditions affecting bowel, heart, lung or brain in adults
In the UK, a rare condition is one that affects fewer than 1/2000 people. Around 70% of rare conditions have a genetic cause (ie are caused by a change… Read more
Uncovering how ABA dynamics in Arabidopsis, wheat and rice respond to low humidity to control water loss
We welcome applicants for a plant science PhD studentship in Dr Jim Rowe’s group, starting in October 2025, which is fully funded (tuition and stipend) for UK students. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme - How does the spatial organisation of soil bacteria control agricultural greenhouse gas emissions?
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme - The genetic basis of adaptation to altitude in Heliconius butterflies
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme - Understanding the link between population-level processes and broad-scale biodiversity patterns
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
Old age macrophages? Programming distinct immune behaviours across the lifecourse
The white blood cells known as macrophages are a highly heterogeneous population of cells and this diversity is necessary for their plastic responses to a changing microenvironment and a wide-range of required functions in vivo. Read more
Developing targeted treatments for HNRNPU-related neurodevelopmental disorder using drug repurposing strategies
Project Title. Developing targeted treatments for HNRNPU-related neurodevelopmental disorder using drug repurposing strategies. Read more
Determining the cellular and molecular basis of seizure phenotypes in models of a human neurodegenerative disease
The aim of this PhD is to better understand a rare neurological disease termed neurodevelopmental disorder with microcephaly, hypotonia and variable brain anomalies (NMIHBA). Read more
MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Understanding how damaged DNA is excised and repaired to maintain genome integrity and prevent cancer.
Background. DNA is constantly damaged and must be repaired to prevent genome instability and cancer. Conversely chemotherapy typically induces DNA damage to cause cancer cell death. Read more
Developing CCDC146 as a therapeutic target for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal and incurable neurodegenerative disease caused by the selective and progressive death of motor neurons. Read more
The genetic and developmental control of complex nanostructure formation in butterfly wing scales
Butterfly wings are natural wonders, covered in colourful scales that are used for signaling, thermoregulation and to help with aerodynamic performance. Read more
Horizontal gene transfer and its role in crop adaptation and evolution
Genetic variation is the substrate of evolution. Without genetic variation species are more likely to become extinct, and this is a problem for wild and crop species alike. Read more
Identification of the molecular pathways that guide tissue regeneration.
The study of regenerative biology aims to elucidate the innate ability of organisms to replace tissues or organs after they have been removed or damaged. Read more
