Fully Funded PhD Projects in Human Genomics, Genetic Variants and Bioinformatics MRC FiGx-DLA programme in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the John Innes Centre within the Norwich Research Park Biosciences Doctoral Training Partnership. This project, “From Defence to Antibiotic production: Uncovering New Roles for NLR Signalling in Multicellular Bacteria” , explores how nucleotide-binding and oligomerisation domain-like receptors (NLRs) function in Streptomyces beyond phage defence. The research aims to uncover broader roles in multicellular development , complex signalling networks , and the regulation of natura...

Funded PhD opportunity at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, United Kingdom, on spatial and three-dimensional genome regulation during zygotic genome activation (ZGA) . This project explores how chromatin architecture, promoter-enhancer communication, boundary formation, insulation, and spatially restricted transcriptional states are coordinated as the embryonic genome becomes active. The work sits at the intersection of developmental genomics , chromatin biology , genomics ...

PhD opportunity in DNA replication origins, genome language models, and synthetic biology at the Earlham Institute, Norwich, United Kingdom. This interdisciplinary project explores how DNA replication origins are encoded and regulated in genomes, and how artificial intelligence can be used to design new genetic elements that control replication. The work combines computational biology, genomics, synthetic biology, machine learning, genome engineering, CRISPR-based genome editing, next-generation...

The University of Birmingham in Birmingham, United Kingdom, is advertising a PhD studentship on machine learning for plasmid risk assessment and genomic surveillance, with a focus on respiratory disease and the microbiome. The project will analyse large-scale metagenomic sequencing data from patients across the respiratory disease severity spectrum, including people presenting with respiratory symptoms in emergency care and patients with severe pneumonia in intensive care. Researchers will chara...
