Unveiling Early Motor Neurone Disease Biomarkers: Insights from Neuromuscular Junction Dynamics
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease that leads to the death of motor neurons (MNs) in the brain and spinal cord. Read more
Age-related disease: Fidelity mechanisms that protect against epigenetic decay
Inside the mammalian cell nucleus DNA and associated proteins are spatially organised and differentially compacted, so that some genes are accessible and some are not. Read more
Identifying causes of neuronal cell death in C9orf72 repeat expansion toxicity
Project. Applications are invited for a PhD studentship to be hosted in the Institute of Healthy Aging, at UCL, to start September 1st 2025, with funding for 3.5 years. Read more
PhD Studentship in Primate Comparative Genomics: Exploring Somatic Mutations and Ageing Across Evolutionary Timescales
Are you passionate about understanding the fundamental mechanisms of evolution and aging? Join us at the University of Cambridge to investigate how genomic instability influences lifespan and aging across diverse primate species. 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
Open Research from Electronic Lab Notebooks: does AI help biologists to record their science?
Research Group:
Institute of Quantitative Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology
Researchers are moving away from paper notes, to record their daily work in electronic lab notebooks, either online or in institutional systems (ref. Read more
Integrative bioinformatics approaches for the identification of novel targets and therapeutics for cell cycle changes and cell death
We are looking for a PhD candidate with a passion to combine bioinformatics and computational biology, as well as next-generation sequencing and high-throughput 'omic technologies, to target cells and their development. Read more
(Bicentenary) Exploring the influence of proteogenomics in patients receiving biologic drugs for treatment of psoriatic arthritis
Background. Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory arthritis, associated with the chronic skin condition psoriasis, which causes joint inflammation. Read more
(Bicentenary) Ethnic, geographic, and sociodemographic inequalities in prostate cancer outcomes in the United Kingdom
Background. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer affecting men in the UK, with new cases expected to rise from 55,000 in 2020 to 80,000 annually by 2040. Read more
Exploration of markers of fibrotic and inflammatory signalling, and associated clinical phenotypes, in patients with Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs)
We invite applicants for a 4-year iCASE studentship to work in collaboration with our industrial partner Abcam Ltd. Second Supervisor. Read more
Functional consequences of genomic tandem repeat expansions in pulmonary fibrosis
Additional Supervisor. Dr Nick Hannan, School of Medicine, University of Nottingham. This important and exciting project explores an underappreciated aspect of genetics that could help us understand and treat Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), a devastating lung disease with limited treatment options. Read more
(Bicentenary) Defining actionable molecular subtypes of ovarian cancer using AI and multi-omic data integration
The Project. High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most prevalent and deadly ovarian cancer subtype, primarily driven by TP53 mutations and chromosome instability (CIN). Read more
(Bicentenary) Examining the role of G-quadruplexes in genetic disorders to discover new diseases and mechanisms
BACKGROUND. Although the classic Watson and Crick double helix structure is well known, DNA also forms several other non-classical structures, called non-B DNA DNA confirmations. Read more
Genomics-first approaches for identifying novel drug targets for psychotic disorders
Psychotic experiences (hallucinations, delusions) occur in several forms of mental illness, particularly the most severe conditions of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Read more
