Biomedical research University of Edinburgh in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at Quadram Institute Bioscience in Norwich, United Kingdom, within the Norwich Research Park Biosciences Doctoral Training Programme (NRPDTP). The project is titled Role of non-canonical autophagy in liver lipid metabolism in response to unhealthy diets and sits at the intersection of autophagy, liver lipid metabolism, fatty liver disease, obesity, hepatocyte biology, LC3-associated phagocytosis, cell biology, molecular biology, immunology , and translational biomedical research....

PhD opportunity at the University of Warwick in pharmacology, cell biology, molecular biology, and metabolic disease . This funded PhD project, hosted by the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership , is supervised by Dr Cathy Slack and Dr Andre Pires da Silva . The research uses Drosophila melanogaster as a genetically tractable model to study how poor diet disrupts insulin/IGF-like signalling and metabolic homeostasis, and how the pharmacological inhibitor trametinib may protect a...

[Fully funded 4-year Norwich Research Park Biosciences Doctoral Training Partnership PhD studentship including payment of tuition fees, a stipend for living expenses at the 2026/27 rate of £21,805, and a Research Training Support Grant of £5,000 per year.] This PhD studentship at the University of East Anglia is offered through the Norwich Research Park Biosciences Doctoral Training Programme (NRPDTP) and focuses on the role of non-canonical autophagy in liver lipid metabolism in response to unh...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in the School of Chemistry, based in Norwich, United Kingdom, on carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs), starch digestion, enzymology, NMR, biophysics, and structural biology . This project, supervised by Professor Yaroslav Khimyak with a collaborative supervisory team in the Khimyak/Koev/Warren labs, investigates how CBM identity influences starch-binding affinity and hydrolysis kinetics. The research aims to connect carbohydrate hydrogel structure ...

PhD opportunity at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, United Kingdom, focused on TRIM21 , intracellular antibody immunity, and the degradation of viruses and protein aggregates . The project explores how TRIM21, a cytosolic E3 ligase and antibody receptor, is activated and regulated, how it recruits different E2 enzymes, and how it can direct substrates to both the proteasome and autophagy. The research is highly relevant to molecular biology , immunology , biophysics , and struct...
