Manipulation of neuroimmune responses and behaviour by infectious agents

University of Leeds Faculty of Biological Sciences

This project is available exclusively to self-funded students who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2023/24. The project focuses on how infectious agents modify the individuals that they infect and how neuroimmune responses to infection moderate behaviour changes in warm-blooded animals and humans.

Probing Death Decisions from Morphogen Gradient Fields

University of Liverpool Department of Molecular and Clinical Cancer Medicine

Morphogen gradient scaling is one of the hottest fields in developmental biology at the moment. Scaling is fundamental, explaining how the machinery that controls pattern formation in development (the morphogens) can adapt, so that organs of different sizes show morphological structures which are proportioned.

Investigating monogenic disorders of the protein synthesis machinery

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Translation of mRNA into proteins is a critical cellular biological process. We recently described a novel human disorder, now called Faundes-Banka Syndrome (FABAS), caused by heterozygous variants in EIF5A1 that encodes a translation factor. Read more

Understanding control of genome folding by cohesin

University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology

Our basic goal is to understand how chromatin structure influences gene regulation. Chromatin is generally repressive in nature but its structure is manipulated by cells in a regulated way to determine which genes are potentially transcriptionally active and which genes remain repressed in a given cell type.
