The evolution of cell-cell signalling in unicellular eukaryotes, BBSRC SWBio DTP PhD studentship 2025
About. The BBSRC-funded SWBio DTP involves a partnership of world-renown universities, research institutes and industry, based mainly across the South West and Wales. Read more
Pre-T Cell receptor signalling dynamics and its role in cellular lineage determination
In complex biological systems, checkpoints ensure that critical components are functioning correctly. A great example of this is our immune system, which must integrate signals from multiple cell-types to protect us from invading pathogens. Read more
Targeting cancer cell communication and chemoresistance via tunnelling nanotubes (SobolewskiA_U25SCI)
Primary supervisor - Dr Anastasia Sobolewski. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is diagnosed at a late stage and has a poor prognosis. Although some targeted treatments exist, chemoresistance frequently occurs. One mechanism through which chemoresistance can happen is through tunnelling nanotubes (TNTs). Read more
Understanding early tissue formation in the embryo and outside mimicking developmental programmes
Embryonic tissues and organs are shaped and patterned by complex genetic, molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate essential processes during development [1]. 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
The Influence of Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on the Development and Prevention of Skin Cancers (Ref: AACME-24-018)
Background. biomedical application of fish oil-derived omega-3 fatty acids. Dietary intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids from fish oils has been shown to have various beneficial effects against inflammation and inflammatory diseases, as well as anti-tumour effects. Read more
Understanding how tyrosine phosphatases regulate the cytoskeleton
Question. Tyrosine phosphorylation of signalling proteins at the plasma membrane controls essential actin-dependent processes in eukaryotes, including migration, adhesion, and communication. Read more
Imaging the consequences of CD20 cross-linking in B cells using super-resolution microscopy (SRM) and Cryo-Electron Tomography (CryoET).
Joint Supervisors. Dr Harriet Walter, Department of Genetics, Genomics and Cancer Sciences and Dr Yolanda Markaki, Molecular & Cell Biology, University of Leicester. Read more

Funded PhD SWBio DTP- Mechanisms and functions of lysosome positioning
Project description. Lysosomes are the main degradative organelle in the cell. They contain >60 acid-hydrolases to digest cargo delivered via membrane trafficking processes including endocytosis and autophagy. Read more
Funded PhD open to UK-domiciled, home fee applicants of Black African, Black Caribbean or other Black or mixed Black heritage - Mechanisms and functions of lysosome positioning
Lysosomes are the main degradative organelle in the cell. They contain >60 acid hydrolases to digest cargo delivered via several membrane trafficking processes including endocytosis, phagocytosis and autophagy. Read more
Precision Medicine DTP - Multi-modal single-cell analysis of human kidney tissue to identify novel anti-inflammatory therapies for kidney disease
Research Group:
Centre for Cardiovascular Science
Additional supervisor. Prof Thomas Otto (University of Glasgow). Background. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health problem; it affects ~7% of the UK population and is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and for end-stage kidney disease (ESRD), necessitating dialysis or transplantation.

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership - Holding on: Investigating the contribution of attached Leishmania parasite forms in human infections.
Leishmania parasites are responsible for causing a collection of devastating diseases affecting millions of people worldwide. They are spread via infected female sand flies, who feed on blood to produce eggs. Read more
Regulation of E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion by the microtubule cytoskeleton
Primary Supervisor: Dr Natalia Bulgakova. Funding: China Scholarship Council (CSC). Deadline: 29th January 2025. Project Overview. Read more
Improving the regenerative capacity of Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa skin by re-activating YAP/TAZ signalling.
This is an exciting opportunity for a 4-year DEBRA UK-funded PhD studentship within the Institute of Dentistry of Barts and The London Medical School and Dentistry at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL). Read more
