Reprogramming Cancer Organoids with Targeted Therapies
A 2025 Crick PhD project with Fabian Fröhlich (Crick) & Chris Tape (UCL). Signalling enables cells to respond to external cues. Signalling is inherently heterogenous, which enables multicellular organisation of cells in tissues but also complicates disease treatment. Read more
Integrating AI with multi-omics to improve animal health
Our supervisory team at Newcastle University, SRUC, and Teesside University are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated student, excited by the prospect of Artificial Intelligence as a transformative tool in animal health, including veterinary/pathological sciences. Read more
Computational Model of Microbial Metabolism for Rational Design of Sustainable Cell Factories in Low-Carbon Value-Added Production
To address the climate crisis, the UK has committed to achieving Net Zero by 2050, and the world also agreed to move away from fossil fuels as a result of COP26. Read more
Understanding cellular rapid shape shift using molecular rulers
Are you fascinated by how cells adapt and move? Do you want to uncover mechanisms that drive cancer metastasis or shape early embryos? This exciting PhD project offers you the chance to explore the dynamic world of cellular shape transformations and uncover how cells control their actomyosin cortex—a network of proteins that enables rapid shape changes. Read more
Dissecting Gram-negative envelope biogenesis to understand drug delivery in Gram-negative pathogens
Background. Much of the ecological success of bacteria can be attributed to their robust, protective envelope. The cell envelope is a complex structure, featuring a mesh-like peptidoglycan (PG) layer that provides mechanical protection to the cell. Read more

The role of the ribotoxic stress response in determining cell fate in human skin exposed to UV-light
Applications are invited for a 3.5 year PhD studentship based within the MRC Toxicology Unit, University of Cambridge. The student will be working on a collaborative project jointly supervised by Anne E. Read more
Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) PhD Scholarship: Uncovering infectious Disease Risks and Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR): Mapping and Forecasting Infectious Disease Burden Using Bayesian Geospatial Modelling and Machine Learning.
The scholarship is for 3.5 years full-time study and covers home PhD fees, currently £4,786, pays an annual stipend at the standard Sheffield Hallam PhD stipend rate (this is aligned with the net Real Living Wage and the current rate for academic year 2024/25 is £20,974 per annum). Read more
MSc by Research: Discovering the Biological Role(s) and Proteomic Impact of Non-Canonical Ubiquitylation
Ubiquitylation, the process by which the small protein ubiquitin is attached to target proteins, is a fundamental post-translational modification (PTM) that regulates almost every cellular function. Read more
Understanding the transcription factor network governing blood stem cell expansion
Recent advances in blood stem cell expansion outside the body have afforded us an unprecedented opportunity to unravel the molecular regulators that allow a stem cell to make an equally potent copy of itself (a process known as self-renewal). Read more
Quantifying Uncertainty in Machine Learning Methods of Early Diagnosis of Neurodegenerative Diseases
Vast amounts of data relating to genetic, molecular, imaging and spectroscopy methods relating to neurodegenerative diseases is becoming available, posing the challenge of early diagnosis and developing a better understanding of their origin and spread along neural connections. Read more
Intraspecies Interactions In the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis
The need to distinguish self from non-self is a requirement spanning the kingdoms from bacteria to plants and humans. Many microbes are highly clonal and frequently restrict cooperative behaviours to their clonal isogenic counterparts (kin). Read more
Palynology investigation of Palaeozoic deposits
Professor Charles Wellman supervises self-funded Ph.D. research projects in Palynology hosted by the Centre for Palynology. These can encompass taxonomic, biostratigraphical or palaeoenvironmental (palynofacies) analysis. Read more
Identifying prognostic biomarkers in patients with progressive pulmonary fibrosis
We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in acute or chronic pulmonary diseases (e.g. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Evolution of ecological and species diversity in freshwater fishes
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Project description. Ecological, morphological and evolutionary diversification among sympatric individuals often reflects divergent selective pressures along environmental gradients. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Novel approaches to understand the relationship between environmental change and biodiversity in space and time
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline. Preventing the irreversible loss of biodiversity while supporting human livelihoods is one of the greatest contemporary challenges. Read more
