About this position
The BioMind Lab at the University of Cambridge is advertising two fully funded PhD opportunities focused on the brain-immune interface, functional genomics and immunogenetics.
The first project, “Developing extracellular vesicle assays as molecular readouts of brain biology and drug action,” is a Cambridge Biosciences iCASE project. It offers full funding for UK and international students and includes co-supervision and collaboration with Xin-hui XIE, Richard Dear and Helen Dooner of Compass Pathways.
The second project focuses on the immunogenetics of psychiatric disorders and is co-supervised by Isabelle McGrath. It forms part of the UK Human Functional Genomics Initiative PhD programme, which covers funding for home students.
Applicants interested in understanding the brain-immune interface through novel bioassays, extracellular vesicle assays, molecular readouts and functional genomics are encouraged to apply. The post lists project reference ICS27-SAN-ML1. Review the linked project and programme pages for eligibility requirements, deadlines and application instructions.
