Biophysical explorations of neural crest cell behaviours in development and cancer

King’s College London School of Natural & Mathematical Sciences

Neural crest cells are highly migratory. These cells travel throughout the developing embryo, eventually contributing to most organ systems, including the peripheral nervous system, pigment cells and craniofacial skeleton. Read more

The genetic map of human molecular phenotypes

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Rationale. Genome wide associations studies (GWASs) have discovered many genetic associations with a large range of human traits, but the functional consequences of GWAS signals often remain elusive, as most GWAS signals reside in non-coding genomic regions. Read more

Supervisors: Dr J Min, Dr G Hemani, Dr JH Hawe

Year round applications PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Linking multivariable Mendelian randomization with lifecourse epidemiology: developing the methodology and application to a contemporary exemplar

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Rationale. Mendelian randomization (MR) uses genetic variants as instrumental variables to estimate the causal effect of an exposure on an outcome, free from bias due to unobserved confounding. Read more

Supervisors: Dr E Sanderson, Prof K Tilling, Prof G Davey-Smith

Year round applications PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Identifying causal pathways to disease using DNA methylation predicted blood traits.

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Project Background. Blood cell types have been implicated in pathogenesis of chronic diseases. Genome wide association studies have identified thousands of variants associated with blood trait variation. Read more

Harnessing the genetics of DNA methylation to understand context-specific gene regulation in disease

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Project Background. Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have discovered many genetic associations with health outcomes. However, most GWAS signals reside in non-coding regions and it is likely that GWAS variants confer their effects through a regulatory mechanism. Read more

The use of life course epidemiology to support the experimental characterisation of genetic variation

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Project Background. There has been a rapid expansion in the generation of genetic sequence data over the last decade. Understanding the potential relevance of genetic mutations to human health remains challenging. Read more

Plant adaptation to low oxygen conditions

University of Oxford Department of Biology

In plants, cells are exposed to varying oxygen (O. 2. ) concentrations due to changes in environmental availability, metabolic activity, and organ anatomy (Weits et al., 20201; Loreti and Perata, 20202). Read more
