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

Digital Daphnia: Unravelling Multi-Omics Mechanisms of Environmental Chemical Stress Using Graph Representation Learning
Chemical pollution poses a significant threat to ecosystems and human health. Traditionally, assessments of toxic effects have relied on animal testing, which is ethically contentious, time-consuming, and expensive. Read more
PhD studentship: Structural and functional characterisation of mycobacterial outer membrane proteins
Award Summary. 100% of home tuition fees paid and an annual stipend (living expenses) starting at £19,237 (24/25 rate). International candidates will be required to fund the difference between home fees and international fees. . Read more
Understanding genomic structural variation for cattle complex phenotypes
Funding. This PhD project is part of a competition funded by SRUC. This opportunity is open to UK and International students and provides funding to cover tuition fees at the UK rate, plus a stipend to support living costs. Read more
BBSRC NWD: Exploitation of RNA modification for optimal protein expression under stress conditions
mRNA post translational modifications can regulate the fate of a transcript. They are therefore critical for cellular adaptation and cell survival, especially under conditions of stress. Read more
BBSRC NWD: Structural Proteomics to spatially resolve interactions with mechanosensitive synaptic scaffold proteins
Over the past decades, tremendous progress has been made in unveiling how synaptic plasticity wires and rewires neural circuits, forming the basis of learning and memory. Read more
BBSRC NWD CASE: Exploring Lipid Biosynthesis Mechanisms and Engineering Microalgae for High-Value Lipid Production
Background. The growing demand for sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based products has intensified the search for renewable sources of lipids for various biotechnological applications, particularly in the production of surfactants and biofuels. Read more

Decoding signalling crosstalks using microfluidics and engineered human pluripotent stem cells
Uncovering the molecular logic allowing cells to integrate multiple signalling cues is of paramount importance to understand how cells commit to distinct functional states during embryonic development, normal tissue function, regeneration and disease. 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

Building the first heart vessel
How does the heart form? Despite the large array of adult heart morphologies across nature, the initial heart tube typically forms as a simple tubular structure. Read more

How is membrane traffic organised in human cells?
Eukaryotic cells are compartmentalized. they contain organelles and membrane-bound domains that each have distinct identities. For example, the endoplasmic reticulum is different to the Golgi apparatus. Read more

Establishing TimeTeller as a tool for human chronotyping
Human physiology is governed by the circadian clock, inducing rhythms in key pathways over the 24-day. For example, sleep-wake cycles as well as rhythms in hormones and physiological parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure or blood glucose homeostasis are modulated by the circadian clock.

Synthetic Helical Oligomers as a Novel Class of Bioinspired Catalysts
Synthetic catalysts are widely used in an array of everyday processes including energy production, the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals and the production of plastics. Read more

Inheritance of chromatin marks during cell replication in plants
The correct development of multicellular organisms entails the specifications of distinct cell types. Each of these cellular identities must be conserved during later cell divisions. 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
