Diagnostics for FMF patients and carrier survival in pandemics

Background. Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a rare inherited genetic disease where patients acquire a mutation on the pyrin gene leading to excessive inflammasome activation and excessive inflammation. Read more

Study of early pathological changes in calcified cartilage in osteoarthritis and alkaptonuria

We are seeking a motivated individual to work on this exciting project investigating the role that the calcified cartilage has in rare and common joint osteoarthritis, using novel approaches such as gene silencing and establishment of a 3D chondrocyte cell culture model. Read more

Creating patient-specific retinal organoids from human induced pluripotent stem cells for in vitro simulation of uveitis

Uveitis, although uncommon, is a notable cause of visual impairment and blindness. Uveitis encompasses a range of conditions driven by both innate autoinflammatory and adaptive autoimmune CD4 T-cell responses. Read more

Genomic actions of RAR and VDR ligands

The Doctoral Candidate (DC) will determine whether the combination of RARγ antagonist and VDR agonist is suitable as a differentiation therapy against acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Read more

Sensitizing AML cells to RAR and VDR ligands (vitamin A and D derivatives) to prevent leukaemia relapse

The doctoral candidate (DC) will perform basic research on leukaemia cell biology in vitro and in vivo at the Department of Clinical Biochemistry and Pharmacology, Faculty of Health Sciences, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel. Read more

Development of novel lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for targeted gene delivery to cancer cells

Applications are invited for a self-funded, 3 year full-time PhD project. The PhD will be based in the School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Science and will be supervised by Dr Roja Hadianamrei and Dr Sassan Hafizi. Read more

Engineering extracellular vesicles/exosomes for the treatment of ocular disease

Extracellular vesicles, also referred to as exosomes, are membrane‐bound particles containing huge numbers of proteins as well as genetic material in the form of RNA (mRNA and miRNA). Read more

Investigating mechanisms of extra-cellular matrix remodelling and fibrosis in the gastrointestinal tract

Inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn's disease, are increasing in prevalence globally. These are caused by chronic inflammation in the gut, there is no cure and medications are not effective for all. Read more

Elucidation of a new pathological mechanism for brittle bone disease

The incidence of the brittle bone disease osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is estimated to be around 1 in 10,000 individuals. The phenotypic spectrum of OI ranges from mild to perinatal lethal and includes extra-skeletal connective tissue manifestations. Read more

The role of vitamin D3 in treating skin cancer and preventing drug resistance

  Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences
During the last decade numerous studies have alluded to vitamin D. 3. playing a role in the prevention of cancer. Recent clinical trials looking at the potential role of vitamin D. Read more

Metabolic programming: Role of micronutrient (B12) deficiency and associated epigenetic marks

The global epidemic of childhood obesity is a major public health issue. Although current adverse lifestyle (nutrition and physical inactivity) contributes to obesity, a growing body of evidence links early life nutritional adversity to the development of obesity and metabolic disorders in children. Read more

Structural-guided PROTAC targeting of BMX to modulate apoptotic sensitivity in disease

What determines at the molecular level whether a cell lives or dies? Regulation of the cellular life–death switch is essential in healthy cells for normal foetal development and for the clearance of damaged cells. Read more

Molecular Mechanisms of Receptor and Ion Channel Regulation in Pain and Inflammation

Are you ready to delve into the captivating world of molecular signaling and unravel the mysteries of the cardiovascular and nervous systems? We are thrilled to offer an exhilarating PhD opportunity at the forefront of scientific exploration. Read more

Understanding the role of spliceosome gene mutations in disease

The DNA of a cell is copied into a pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) that the cell uses as a template for protein production. Some of the information contained in DNA is not required for making proteins, therefore, unwanted information must be removed before a protein is made. Read more

Nuclear and transcriptional dysregulations during cellular senescence

Cellular senescence, which is characterised by a proliferation arrest, is a driver of ageing (1). Several stresses can induce cellular senescence, including persistent DNA damage, telomere dysfunction, and oncogene activation. Read more

NUAcT PhD Studentship: Drug discovery in Motor Neuron Disease

Award summary. An annual stipend equivalent to UKRI doctoral stipend (23/24 rate at £18,622). Full fees at the UK home rate. International candidates will need to pay the difference between home and international fees. Read more
