Phd Studentship: A Single-Cell Atlas of the Euglena Gracilis Cell Cycle
Euglena gracilis is one of biology's outliers. This single-celled protist diverged from plants and animals over a billion years ago, switches effortlessly between photosynthesis and…
-
PhD Studentship: Cloaks and Daggers: Fitness Effects of Ceratotoxin Antimicrobials in a Global Fruit fly Pest
Strong interdisciplinary training, within the ARIES Ecology and Biodiversity theme, to equip you with high-in-demand analytical skills in phenotypic and molecular genetic engineering.…
-
PhD Studentship: From Brain to Germline: How Perception Affects Genetic Inheritance
Scientific background: Natural environments are changing rapidly as average temperatures rise and heatwaves become more frequent. How species respond will help determine whether populations…
-
PhD Studentship: How Long Does it Take Grassland Fungi to Recover After Disturbance?
Scientific Background Unimproved, sensitively grazed lowland grasslands are an ecologically vital but highly threatened habitat. These grasslands support diverse fungal communities, from…
-
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…
-
PhD Studentship: Click-to-Connect Cytochromes: Modular Components for Sustainable Electrical Circuits
Primary Supervisor - Professor Julea Butt This exciting project will engineer cytochromes for site-selective covalent linkage to multiple redox partners and electrodes thereby delivering…
-
PhD Studentship: Chemical Biology to target bacteria: Inhibiting bacterial growth by controlling cell division protein interactions
Primary Supervisor - Dr Andrew Beekman Antibiotic-resistant pathogens are a huge threat in healthcare and farming. The last resorts of conventional antibiotic drugs are unable to treat…
-
PhD Studentship: Investigating the ‘cry-for-help’ Effect in Wheat
Soil microbial associations with roots are highly complex and incredibly important for healthy plant growth. Consequently, plants secrete diverse metabolites to attract/repel key…
-
PhD Studentship: Empowering Green Seaweeds as Beneficial Health Products
Introduction: Demand for natural weight loss remedies is exceptionally high. Central Pharma Biotechnica (Biotechnica) mass process brown seaweeds to produce plant biostimulants and…
-
PhD Studentship: One Cell at a Time: Uncovering Enhancer Control of Blood and Cardiovascular Fate Using Single-cell Multi-omics
The cardiovascular system - comprising the heart, blood and blood vessels - is the first functional organ system to form during vertebrate development. Cardiac progenitor cells generate the…
-
PhD Studentship: A Hostile Niche: How Mutant Blood Stem Cells Damage Their Healthy Neighbours
As people age, some blood stem cells acquire mutations that give them a growth advantage over their normal counterparts. Our recent work suggests the mutant cells don't just outgrow their…
-
PhD Studentship: Cracking the Chain of Command in Multidrug Efflux Evolution
Are you passionate about understanding antibiotic resistance at the molecular level? Join Professor Mark Webber and Dr Gemma Langridge at the Quadram Institute Bioscience for a cutting-edge…
-
PhD Studentship: Small RNA, Big Impact: The role of SNORD116 in the metabolic development of adipocytes
Investigating the Molecular Basis of Adipocyte Metabolic Development Understanding how fat cells (adipocytes) develop is fundamental to population-level metabolic health. This project…
-
PhD Studentship: Unlocking healthy ageing: harnessing proteostasis pathways to promote extracellular matrix function
Background Ageing causes increased frailty and higher rates of disease. As societies age, this presents an enormous public health challenge, making understanding the ageing process…
-
PhD Studentship: Engineering Fitness in Disease-Resistant Crops
Engineering crop disease resistance to overcome the growth-defence trade-off Developing crops that are both productive and resillient is one of the major challenges facing agriculture.…
-
PhD Studentship: How does NRP2 keep blood vessels sealed and calm under stress?
Blood vessels are lined by endothelial cells, which form a living barrier between blood and tissues. These cells must stay tightly connected, sense blood flow, respond to nutrients and…
-
PhD Studentship: Functional Genomics of Sexually Antagonistic Selection
Why do harmful genes persist in populations instead of being removed by natural selection? One answer lies in sexual antagonism: when a genetic variant benefits males but harms females, or…
