PhD Studentship: Designing Plant Gene Expression with Explainable AI
Plants survive drought, heat and disease by rapidly changing which genes are switched on, where, and when. But we still cannot reliably design the regulatory DNA that controls these…
-
PhD Studentship: Decoding and Designing DNA Replication Origins Using Genome Language Models
Project Supervisor - Dr Conrad Nieduszynski How does a cell know where and when to copy its DNA? And can we use artificial intelligence to design entirely new genetic elements that control…

PhD Studentship: How to build an immune receptor: AI-led protein design for engineering disease resistance
Primary Supervisor - Professor Mark Banfield Like animals, plants get sick, but they have an immune system to fight back against infection. Plant diseases are a threat to food production…
-
PhD Studentship: Where do plants make their medicine? Mapping chemical defence one cell at a time
Primary Supervisor - Dr Tatsuya Nobori When a pathogen attacks, a plant fights back with chemistry. However, not every cell uses the same defence. Our recent single-cell study revealed an…
