PhD studentship in experimental biophysics: A DNA-based B cell receptor to investigate a role for mechanical forces in B cell activation
During an immune response, B cells become activated to produce antibodies that neutralise pathogens and target them for destruction. Read more
Stratifying and targeting apoptosis in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) using a systems biology approach.
Applications are invited for a fully funded 3.5-year PhD studentship to join Haemato-oncology team at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School. Read more
Doped magnetic nanomaterials: synthesis, characterisation and biological studying their thermal therapeutic potentials for cancer treatment
Cancer has a major impact on society, this is reflected by the large number of newly diagnosed cases (375,400 annually for the years 2015-2018 in the UK, i.e. Read more
Stratification and selective targeting based on anti-apoptotic gene expression and NFκB signalling in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL).
Applications are invited for a fully funded 3.5-year PhD studentship to join Haemato-oncology team at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School. Read more
Drosophila as a screening tool to replace mammalian systems to identify the functional role of candidate genes in controlling muscle dyadic architecture
Cardiomyopathies of varying aetiologies share a common cellular structural alteration, the loss of transverse (t-) tubules leading to altered dyadic structure and perturbed cellular calcium (Ca2+) homeostasis. Read more
Fully funded international PhD studentship available in Molecular Cell Biology and Microbiology, Infection & Immunity
Supervised by internationally-leading experts from Warwick Medical School and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) in Singapore, this four-year programme focuses on 1) Molecular Cell Biology and 2) Microbiology, Infection & Immunity. Read more
Determining tumour state using DNA methylation
This project is a collaboration between three research groups. Prof Skirmantas Kriaucionis research group aims to elucidate the molecular function of DNA modifications in normal cells, leading to the understanding of how defective pathways contribute to the neoplasia. Read more
Molecular mechanisms of action and basis of resistance to hypomethylating agents in cancer
The student will be supervised by two supervisors. Prof Skirmantas Kriaucionis research group aims to elucidate the molecular function of DNA modifications in normal cells, leading to the understanding of how defective pathways contribute to the neoplasia. Read more
Single Molecule-based Detection of Mutations in Non-clonal cells
This project is a collaboration between two research groups. Prof Skirmantas Kriaucionis research group aims to elucidate the molecular function of DNA modifications in normal cells, leading to the understanding of how defective pathways contribute to the neoplasia. Read more
Why cell position matters in cancer: role of epigenetic factors
Although cancers are highly mutated, it is factors above and beyond those mutations that allow a tumor to form. These factors include epigenetic gene programs embedded within the cell of origin (Baggiolini, et al, Science 2021). Read more
Identifying new subtype of diabetes, [Biological and Medical Sciences – PhD (Funded)
Location. RILD Building level 3, RD&E Hospital Wonford, Exeter. Read more
The role of PHF6 during haematopoietic differentiation
PHD finger protein 6 (PHF6) is a protein, consisting of two atypical plant homeodomains (aPHD1/2) with nuclear and nucleolar localization sequences. Read more
Transcription factor complexes in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) is a group of blood cancers, resulting from uncontrolled cellular proliferation of cells belonging to the myeloid lineage. Read more
Induction of lysosomal biogenesis in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) as a novel treatment for Stargardt disease
Lead Institute / Faculty. Clinical and Experimental Sciences, Faculty of Medicine. Other members of the supervisory team. Professor Andrew J. Read more
Dissecting the mechanism of pathological aged-related protein aggregation
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
Aggregation of aberrant proteins is a hallmark in age-related neurodegenerative diseases. These aggregates cause cell death and tissue degeneration leading to loss of function, hence strategies to reduce aggregation are necessary for delaying disease onset and progression. Read more
