Stress sensing and cell polarity regulation
Research Group:
Institute of Cell Biology
Cell organisation is critical for cell function and depends on spatial cell-polarity cues and landmarks, both internally and externally. Read more
Understanding the role of cancer-associated SF3B1 mutation in microRNA biogenesis.
In this PhD project, the student will investigate how cancer-associated mutation in the splicing factor SF3B1 affects microRNA biogenesis. Read more
Investigating genome plasticity and its role in drug resistance in Candida albicans.
Research Group:
Institute for Regeneration and Repair
Fungal pathogens are a huge burden on human health, killing over 2 million people each year, six times more than malaria or influenza, and are deadlier than most bacterial infections. With only four classes of antifungal drugs available, and an increase in resistance seen in clinics, there is an urgent need for developing new strategies against antifungal resistance. Read more
The impact of horizontal gene transfer on the evolution of eukaryotes
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is defined as the movement of genetic material across extended phylogenetic distances. Read more
Identification of novel metabolic pathways regulating haematopoietic stem cell self-renewal
Understanding how metabolism regulate the self-renewal and function of stem cells is a fundamental question in biology. A rare population of haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) sustains life-long blood production. Read more
Development of Rapid Assays for Nucleic Acid-based Disease Targets
The recent COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in intense interest in the development of novel technologies for fast and sensitive nucleic acid (DNA & RNA) detection.[1] The current gold-standard for nucleic acid detection uses lab-based PCR, where strands of DNA are copied (amplified) many times to generate a read-out signal.

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Unveiling novel interactions between the human complement system and pathogenic Neisseria
Primary Supervisor. Dr. Hayley Lavender (https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/people/hayley-lavender). Secondary Supervisors. Prof. Kevin Marchbank (https://www.ncl.ac.uk/medical-sciences/people/profile/kevinmarchbank.html). Read more
Modelling rare genetic disease variants in Neurodevelopmental Disorders: strengthening Xenopus as a key screening tool for diagnosis and improved mechanistic understanding.
Applications are invited for a fully-funded three year PhD to commence in October 2025. . The PhD will be based in the Faculty of Science and Health and will be supervised by Dr Annie Godwin, Dr Helen Willsey (UCSF) and Professor Matt Guille. . Read more
How fungal cell walls depend on messenger RNA regulation and RNA-binding proteins
Research Group:
Institute of Cell Biology
Fungi are the most diverse kingdom of eukaryotes, including major pathogens of animals and plants. The interface between the fungal cell and the world is the fungal cell wall, made of proteins and polysaccharides. Read more
E5 DLA Project; Understanding selfish genes and selfish self-fertilisation
Research Group:
Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Toxin-antidote (TA) gene pairs are a form of selfish genes that ensure their transmission by causing host lethality if not inherited together. Read more
EastBio: Decoding the Cytoskeletal Basis of Synapse Organization through Super-Resolution Microscopy.
Research Group:
Institute of Cell Biology
Synapses, micron-sized structures, enable rapid point-to-point communication between neurons and are critical to the proper functioning of the nervous system. Read more
Molecular mechanisms of selective autophagy during the course of ageing
Ageing is a complex process that involves a progressive decline in physiological functions of an organism, eventually causing disease and death. Read more
Understanding interactions between Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumonia and Corynebacterium within the human nasal microbiota
Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae are leading human pathogens and also asymptomatically colonise the upper respiratory tract of more than 30% of humans. Corynebacterium species are abundant in the human nasal cavity. Read more
Understanding how interaction with the host influences virulence and antimicrobial resistance in Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus aureus is a leading pathogen globally and also asymptomatically colonises the upper respiratory tract of more… Read more
Discovering the gene regulatory networks that control cereal development
Research Group:
Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences
All cereal crops are grasses, meaning that the grass family provides more than 50% of global calories. The grass leaf underpins this crucial productivity and yet we do not understand the gene regulatory networks that control its development. Read more
